Vacuum lines?

I am running a profec B and have deleted AIV, EGR, Water pipes, PRVR, wastegate solenoids....

I am left with 2 vacuum nipples on the Drivers side turbo inlet pipe and 1 on the passenger pipe..... do I just bung these up?

I was just going to connect the 2 drivers side ones together and somehow bung the passenger one up?

 

It's a bit confusing as to which vacuum pipes I need, as this is the first time the engine has been together after the TT install....

 

I think I understand that:-

I take the 2 pipes from the Profec B II solenoid and connect the N/O to the actuators via a T piece...... the Com to the 2 pipes feeding the throttle bodies via a T piece. And a vacuum into the main Profec-B II unit from the plenum ( also feeding my boost gauge).

The recirc valves go to A) drivers side goes to balance tube vacuum outlet. B) Passenger side goes to outlet on side of plenum ( that screws in )????

The PRVR delete means I connect the fuel pressure regulator to a plenum vacuum pipe where the PRVR was originally connected to......?

 

Earth Wiring From Battery?

The battery earth wire tha goes from the battery to the body must have been lost...... I have a Gold battery clamp terminal from the audio.... I have run a bit of 2 gauge cable to the bodywork and used a large gold crimp to fit to the original earth point on the bulkhead.... Were there any other earth wires from here to gearbox bolts, engine block, plenum, etc....???

 

here is where I am upto....

Well ran new earth cable all over rear of engine..... Replaced the corroded earth strap from the fuel rail with nice earth cable and crimped connectors....

I ran all earth leads from where the battery earth is bolted to the firewall.....

1st lead to the top bolt on the auto transmission......

2nd Lead goes to the cam sensor bolt on passenger side then daisy chains over to the same bolt on drivers cam sensor....

I also used heat shrink on every crimp terminal to get a better seal and try to slow down the corrosion that usually occurs....

I have also replaced the corroded main earth from the car with a bit of 2 gauge audio grade Earth Cable and also did the live to the starter while I was there.....

I used gold plated audio Battery clamps to fit them.....

Another job jobbed........
