Leave it on. Why do you want to remove it anyway?

if your turbos are still set up sequentially, then yes, you need it. If they're non-sequential, then I don't think you need it. Anyone care to confirm?

It stores a vacuum charge, and I think when a solenoid opens or closes, it applies all that stored vacuum to an actuator or something. I think, anyway.

That's the Pressure chamber, not the vacuum chamber you simpletons.

Now if I could just figure out where the blue connector under the UIM goes & the hose from the airbox ??????????????????

Grab a flashlight and look under the chamber before you attempt a "cleaner" look

the blue connector under the UIM
It's for the EGR on California cars only
the hose from the airbox
That's where you stick a police whistle for that cool tweet sound (j/k)
