Take 'em all off and throw the rats nest as far as you can. Then plug all the left over holes in the intake manifold. You need one for the MAP sensor, one for the BOV, one for the PCV valve, one for your fuel pressure regulator and one in front of the throttle body for your wastegate. I'm thinking of drilling out the steel nipples and welding up the holes I don't need. Maybe drill and tap the ones I need for tougher-than-silicon hoses.

Just out of curiousity, when you guys throw away the rats nest, what do you do with all the sensors and hoses that you do need? I would think to keep the rats nest just to make the sensors and vaccuum hoses stay in place. Just my $.02.

There are no sensors involved , just the solenoids and the hoses that are required to make the sequential system operate .

What computer are you running.. If it's the power FC you can toss it all.. If it's stock or ROM tunned you'll need to keep the solinoids and leave them plugged in to the harness but you can still throw away all the vaccume hoses etc..

This is the motivating factor for me to go single. No more Saturdays wasted searching for the vaccum leak.

Yes one of the many perks of going single. Also think about how much MORE POWER you will make...and impressing the ladies with an open air wastegate run near a sunset beach
