Can you delete vacuum lines?
On a 1G, you can literally remove everything vacuum related EXCEPT the BOV line, fuel pressure regulator line, brake booster, PCV and breather line back to intake, and whatever you have set up for the boost control — whether stock or MBC, without issue. You can remove the solenoid cluster above the firewall as well.
What should I replace my vacuum line with?
Replacing the crap rubber factory vacuum lines with more crap vacuum lines What you can usually find locally for vacuum line is terrible. The rubber gets old fast and cracks, as well as not keeping a solid conneciton and slipping off. We suggest upgrading from a brittle rubber to silicon vacuum lines:s
What do you need to know about the vacuum line in a car?
1. Exhaust Gas Re-circulatory Valve ( EGR ) 2. Brake Booster 3. Exhaust By-pass Valves ( like those found on Ferrari’s ) 4. Pop up Headlights 5. Cruise control 6. Crank Case/ Valve Cover Vent 7. Heating / A/C Vent Controls
What to do if you have a leak in your vacuum line?
Using starter fluid is the oldest trick in the book for finding a vacuum leak. With the engine idling, take your can and spray down the vacuum lines and listen for the engine’s idle to change. When you hear the motor come off idle, and rev up slightly, you have got your leak.

Where is the service line on a vacuum pump?
The left hose of the gauge attaches to the larger, low-pressure line’s service valve, while the right hose attaches to the smaller, high-pressure line’s service valve. Check the sight glass on the vacuum pump to ensure it has enough oil. The oil level should be at the fill line located on the sight glass; some pumps will have an “Oil Level” line.
How does a vacuum line attach to a water spigot?
Thread each valve onto its respective hose by turning the valve in a clockwise motion, just as you would thread a watering hose onto an outside water spigot. The left hose of the gauge attaches to the larger, low-pressure line’s service valve, while the right hose attaches to the smaller, high-pressure line’s service valve.
