Tools needed:



1/4" Drive Ratchit



6" 1/4" Drive extension



10mm Deep well socket



10mm Open end wrench



11mm Deep well socket



12mm Deep well socket



Side wire cutters



Vise Grips



Razor Knife



Cable zip-ties



One 1/8" Plastic "T" vacum hose union



3ft. 3.5mm Silicone vacum hose



Several spare 10mm bolts



One Coat Hanger



Floor Jack



Step 1.



Remove the Air box/ or intake whichever applies. The idea is to clear the area above the "Y"pipe assembley.

Step 2.



Remove the 3.5mm vacum hose that runs between the Charge relief valve (CRV) and the Lower intake manifold (LIM). Now with the Plastic "T" union splice the line from the CRV into the 3.5mm vacum line that runs to the backside of the blow off valve (BOV) Make sure that you zip tie all these in place to avoid any future problems with boost leaks.

You may either plug the remaining nipple on the LIM where the line for the CRV used to be or just let it vent. I suggest that with this jerry-rigged version you plug it as I am not 100% sure that it would not affect something due to the solonoids that are still in place. In the future if you decide to go with the full non-sequential version and remove all the solonoids and vacum rack then it is ok to just leave these nipples open and let them vent.



So here you see it plugged on the LIM side using some 3.5mm vacum hose a few zip-ties and a spare 10mm bolt.

Step 3.



Remove the two remaining 3.5mm vacum lines on the Charge control valve (CCV) and two on the "Y"pipe assembly. Use some new vacum hose and create a "bridge" off the Y pipe to essentially negate these two nipples as shown in the pic below. The lines from the CCV also need to be plugged using 3.5mm vacum hose and a spare bolt. You should plug it at both ends, At the valve itself and at the LIM. Again you need not plug the nipple at the LIM if you do the full version.

Here is another image of this with the pipe out to. This is just for more clarification of the modification done to the "Y" pipe. Dont forget to plug the lines from the CCV as well. I did not get a pic of that.

Step 4.



Remove the black pressure tank that is mounted in front of the Upper intake manifold (UIM) This also means that you will remove the two vacum lines that are connected to it. Plug these lines with vacum hose and bolts.

This is the tank I am talking about..

Fd3BOOST

One of the lines off the pressure tank in the pic above was attached to a hard pipe. It is shown below plugged as it should now be.The other nipple that the pressure tank was connected to jets out of the drivers side of the lower Y pipe assembly. It points upward. Should be hard to miss. That line should also be plugged with some vacum hose and a bolt.

Step 5.



Disconnect the two vacum lines on to the Pre Control solonoid. The Pre control solonoid is mounted next to the wastgate solonoid on the passenger side of the upper manifold.

Step 6.



Jack up the passenger side of the car and crawl under the car to acces the Turbo control acctuator (TCA) It is held inplace by two 10mm studs. You will need to remove them with a 10mm open end wrench. After removing the two bolts you will need to remove a small "c" clip that holds the actuating rod onto the flapper door. There are also two 3/8 vacum lines that will need to be taken loose from the TCA.Once you have the TCA completely removed from the car take the coat hanger and wire the flapper door arm all the way towards the front of the car (open postion).
