Who else modified their UIM and LIM to remove the unused nipple instead of putting vacuum caps?
I kept the one for the OMP nipples, one for the boost controller/potentiometer and one for my fuel regulator. Everything else, i TIG welded shut. I'll smooth and clean everything monday morning at the garage, and then paint them to match my freshly rebuild S4 NA.

Done this about eleventy zillion times. On a few cars even gone so far as to cut away all the factory EGR/ACV passages, weld where necessary, and completely separate all the runners. Hell of a lot of work.

And i was also very surprised at how easy it was to weld, being 30+ years old aluminium that was in contact with oil/gas/whatever!
