Yes you can cap it at the rear iron and the back of the pump housing or you can just run a bypass line to them. If you cap them make sure they have clamps they are pressurized 13psi.

There are so many threads about this topic it's not funny. I know because I've posted the same info over and over dozens of times. Please spend some time doing some research before posting. Then if you have any specific questions feel free to ask. You'll always get a better response that way.

The secondary air bleed (dark green), I can't really see where that is connected can anyone help me with that?

what exactly is the point of the air bleeds?



off the back of the UIM (towards the firewall) there is a light blue vacuum it makes and L shape and turns down. What is the acorn looking thing hanging on the end?


Is the FPR connected to the nipple that comes out in an angle?

Lastly, in the picture I have attached (I know its not pretty)
1: what is this main thing with all the relays and vacuum tubes going to it? can it be removed?

2: On the other side of the crank case breather nipple there is a nut/sensor, what sensor is this?


TIA

Nut/sensor is the Knock Sensor.

FPR would be connected to the slanted nipple.

There are/is no secondary air bleeds on a series four turboII. I suppose this picture is for a series five???????? Got me. I guarantee there are no secondary air bleeds on a series four, and I assume you have a series four.

The Primary air bleeds nipple is located inbetween the two oil injectors on the intake manifold. It goes to one of the top nipple on the back of the throttle body. You know, those three or in some cases four nipples one above the other. NEVER connect this primary air bleed to the BOTTOM of those nipples. The bottom nipple is VACUUM and air bleeds do not get vacuum, only air from before the throttle plates.
