different question about removing acv
Ok I am in the process of taking off my acv. The question I have is about what to do about some vac lines. Well I have one that is going from the acv to my boost sensor I believe.(its mounted on the pass. side strut tower) What do I do with that? Just not have anything going to my boost sensor? Also, just cap off every other vac line? Thanks for any help and I did search first:

Well right now I have a "y" that goes from the side of the UIM, one to my boost gauge, and one to my BOV. Is there any other place to do hook my boost sensor up to? How about if I get another "y" somewhere between my BOV and boost sensor or something? Any negative effects from this or a better way to do it? Thanks.

Also, there is alot of oil coming from the right side hole where I took the ACV off of. Is this normal?

Ya, thats what I think too. My turbo had like an inch or more of oil sitting in the bottom of it.
About the vac system I setup. I have one hose coming from the side of the UIM. That goes to a Y. One side goes to my aftermarket boost gauge, the other to a T. On side goes to my stock boost sensor and the other to my BOV. Sound good?

Leaked what? If it's the oil, it's just going to make everything dirty and so forth, if it was a vac leak you had/have, it's going to cause a pain in the *** idle, power shouldn't be effected too much, depending on the size of the vac leak.

Hmm..well I have a good sized leak right now. I took the ACV off and went to put my block off plate on that I ordered months ago. Only to see that I got the wrong plate. So i ghettoed a plate temporarily until the new one comes in but it does leak pretty badly. You can hear the air rushing out or in or whatever it does. I know my acv was leaking before too because I had the same leak and alot of lines weren't hooked up to it. I had some problems with power and ****. Like my car started to boost alot(more load) but it wasn't going anywhere.

I'm not sure what the cause of that was, but i know when I had bad vac leaks on my '89 TII (i had 4 really bad ones however) that I could hit 5psi or so and then the car would run into a brick wall, don't know if it's related or not, probably not, but *shrug* Don't have any RTV to seal it with?

I do, but the metal I used is just too thin(didn't have anything else). I didn't wanna just make a mess since this is only temporary. My block off plate was shipped out yesterday and should be here by the end of the week anyways.

well...
Well I half-assed my Block-off plate too, and it was leaking air, the car wouldn't run right, idle, or anything...
and it was backfiring like an SOB.
So I re-sealed it and it has been fine since...

Well I don't think my injectors have any leaks since I just replaced all the grommets and o-rings, but I am was like half a quart low on oil. Any way that has to do with oil in the ACV?
