is it possible to remove at least some of the vacuum on an S5 engine? here's a pic of what i dont want.

 

That is a 2nd gen specific question. What is tha opening to the left of the oil filter?

Nevermind, it's for the oil filler.

 

oil fill pedisol it doesnt have the arm on it and yes you can remove all that emission garbage

 

You will find your best answers in the 2nd gen section. That is an S5 TII engine btw, they have a 2 piece, offset oil fill tube.

 

Interesting you posted that picture. Looks identical to my rebuild candidate i'm tearing appart in the garage.

 

if you really want to get rid of everything..plug off all of your nipples on your intake plenum, run one vaccum line from the nipple in the center of the lower intake manifold just above the ACV. Run it to a T and one line to the fuel pressure regulator, the other end to the distributor..Y it at the distributor ....if this is still a FB...if you're running S5 stuff then just a line to the fuel pressure regulator is all that you need.

On second thought..this is all you need for a S4..S5 uses some solenoids I believe to activate the 6 ports along with the air compressor. But ya..double check the 2nd gen section.
