I've never looked too much into this but im looking to do this soon on my car(this weekend or so). Im going to buy some EGR blockoff plates and I'm already running a MBC so i can remove those two along with the evap cannistor and selenoid right? I dont have a afpr so I guess I should keep the stocker.

What exactly do I have to do other than removing those selenoids and capping everything off that they connect to?

just make sure the vac hose coming from each turbo is the same lenght before it gets to your MBC. Look up for the one on the clutch too. Get them all out at the same time.

God I could write this up for you. Short and sweet, equal length runs to the wastegates from the mbc, mbc needs to see both vac and boost so the line to it has to come from the plenum. Blow off valve wont change. rip all those solenoids off the firewall, Tear out the hard lines on the engine for the wastegates, they have like 3 bolts holding them on the engine. FPR use the rear port on the plenum near the throttle body. Clutch and brakes need one way check valves (PCV valve). Make sure you install the valves in the correct direction, the clutch is a nice place for a boost leak, ask me how I know... better yet, ask which idiot forgot to swap the check valve from the old line to the new one????

Any problems just hit me up I know that shit inside and out and its fun..... and easy.

Thanks I got a mean boost leak coming from one of the clutch booster lines i gota find that sucker. Cant wait to do this my car feels a bit sluggish with the leaks. Plus I just love the simplicity of less hoses.

Vac reduction is easy.

Rip EVERYTHING out.

Run a hose for the FPR, BOV, and turbos.

You're done.

took me a half hour, and 28 minutes of that was prying the fucking hardline out from under all the bullshit in there :)

Oh i left the damn hard line. On mine I couldnt get the stupid clamps off the wastegates and then the hose were melted on there. Other then that it was easy.
