yes i know i am anoying to ask another question about the AIVs but done a search and there is so much on them and all the posts i have looked at dont answer my question......

 

Looking at this guide

http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/137858.html

 

at the begining he talks about disconnecting the shared vacuum lines the AIV has with EGR and stock boost gauge. I have 2 questions.

 

1. I would like to keep the stock boost gauge functioning. He says about connecting the vacuum line straight to the balance bar after the AIV solenoid is chucked out. He looses me a bit here. Is there a spare nozzle on the balance bar to attach this line, and will the line stretch comfortably (good oxymoron) from where it used to go to the balance bar.

 

2. The guide tiptoes around keeping the EGR vacuum stuff in use. From what i have read the EGR is just as use(ful/less) as the AIV and will be more vacuum lines that can leak but is more tricky to remove than the AIV. I was wondering what you would do if you wanted to strip as much of the vacuum stuff away from the EGR when you are removing the AIVs but without having to remove the unit itself. I guess the same applies from the Carbon Canister but cant see it refered to in the guide so i guess it is stand alone so i wont fiddle with it this time.

 

cheers
