Emissions Removal and Solenoids (S5 NA)

I recently completed my first attempt at removing emissions on an S5. Yes I know...everyone point the finger at the n00b and

There seems to be a massive vacuum leak coming from the solenoid cluster...would this mean I most likely forgot to cap something? Capped something I shouldn't have? Or do I need to disconnect one of the solenoids? Possibly the brown (I believe) one?

Thanks!

On an S5 NA? Probably not but I've got 2 so I figured why not try it on one. Plus I like to tinker so I want to try and make an electronic 6port actuator, etc.

why keep the rack there anyway? just pull it of completely,run new fuel lines and vaccum lines and youll be fine. if your completely removing emissions theres no need for any of them.

Villin - You need to come to Gainesville one day and help with this! =)

The first time I do something, I need photos and/or help...don't do good with just reading. After I do it once...money.

So you are saying I should pull the entire solenoid rack?
