I'm pulling the rats nest off my S4 T2 engine and I saw those two in the emissions system.Can I pull them with it?I also need to know about running the main and return lines.Can I just tee the two mains together and tee the returns?

Thanks

basically if you dont need to pass smog you dont need any solenoids. you end up with like 3 lines. one to fuel pressure, one to the oil metering spyder, and one for something else

Oil metering spyder????WTF is that?I know that the switching actuator controls the twin scroll system and opens it at 2700rpm.Can't I just lock the lever open and bypass it?

yup, just leave it open. the metering nozzles have vacuum lines that all "t" together they call it a spider cause it looks like one
