Evening.

If I am removing the clutch booster and all the pipework can I route this pipe from the balance bar through the valve to the servo? 

Then remove all the rest and blank off the blue x in the plenum? 

Is there any other pipework to this stuff or electrical connection I need to watch out for?

And finally I'm doing all of this to remove as much old pipework as I can to minimise leaks. But is it even worth it. Does the clutch feel much different? I've not driven it in so long I won't even know the difference if it does now. 

Thanks

to give you an idea of how the clutch will feel without the booster, try depressing the clutch pedal without the engine running, I wouldn't want to run one without the booster. 

My car was originally Auto, so the factory spaghetti of lines for the clutch booster isn’t there. However with an uprated clutch it was just way too heavy without, I mean you can cope fine but get in traffic and your fed up. I plumbed the booster up using a manual balance bar and a dedicated line, this has a bit of a loop and a non return valve, straight to the booster. It’s my opinion that you don’t want to conjoin your brake and clutch booster lines. 

You can run straight from the plenum to the clutch booster therefore deleting out the vacuum tank but keeping assist on the pedal. You can see how I have done it in the picture.

Running without the vacuum tank sounds like the option for me then. Was it there just to aid clutch feel after the car is switched off like a brake servo does? 

I have no clutch assist in my bmw. Thst doesn't seem bad atall. How comes the zed clutch is so much more harsh?

Engineering and physics that’s why.

Well the 15 years of engineering progress could account for that. But pretty sure my e30 didn't have it either. Il remove what looks like a good chunk of it I think and see how it goes. Still other bits to fix before it goes near a road yet. Cheers all
