hmmm...

Just get a T-connector and split one of the vacuum hoses (I split the one going to the boost sensor) and then run the one into the car through the firewall and run the other one to wherever you disconnected it from.

You can 'T' the line coming out of the air control valve.

can't you just plug the line into the capped off vacuum line on the rear passenger side of the intercooler?
