you HAVE to pull the turbos off the car to do non-seq.



and you can plug that one nipple, and use the other for your oil injectors.

you dont need the pull the turbos to go non seq...



do a search for "dont be a rikki" on this forum or www.rx7club.com





all you do, is remove the TCA, plug the two lines. You can see what you need to wire because the part your wiring is connected to an actuator (The TCA).



Get some coat hanger and wire that ****** up. You also have to do some work w/ the hoses but overall its an easy operation.



I can help you out if you want with the poormans job. It will let you see what non seq is like but nothing permanant incase you want to go back to sequential. If you like non seq, you can do what im doing and do the full monty. Block off plates, cut out that door that you will have to wire up initially, weld ****.



Peace

oh... and if you ever find the tca, which is on the bottom of the car... if your laying underneath the car, top of your head facing the rear of the car, the tca will be on the right side, to the right of the oil pan.. might have to look around a bit, also might be hidden by a heat sheild... I would be wise to unhook the rod that is connected to the door so you can wire it open =)
