So obviously tracking down vacum leaks gets way easier. Also it cleans up the engine bay quite a bit.
I just bought my car and it had been changed to non-sequential. I don't plan to go back 'cause I'm missing lots of stuff (I'm not sure what) and the lag time isn't too bad.

BUT - there are a bunch of solinoids doing nothing and just sitting under the intake manifold, and it looks like ****. Can I get rid of these?[/quote]

Yes you can lose the solinoids but I'm pretty sur eyou have to put resistors in the lines, Ask on of the guys who has done it. I have not . I only know Rikki's nonsequential.

That depends on your EMS. If you have a PFC, take them out. If you have a stock ECU or stock upgraded ECU, then you have to keep them.

If boost comes on at 3500rpm's then that's the same as sequential?

If boost comes on at 4500rpms then there is lag.

Remembering the dyno charts, non-sequential changes the power curve. If i'm not mistaken all the power is mid range. But that's where all the power is on a non-ported engine anyhow?



If you go non-squential, can you crank more boost since it's not heating up the 2nd chamber as much?

with rikki's way of going non seq, does the rats nest still come out? will the poor man's way work just as well as the full conversion?

You will get better results if you go the extra mile.
