D fuel pressure regulator 4

A1

C3

the curled hose in back should go to the twin scroll solenoid on the turbo

ok thought so thanks

next up
this line was connected to some others where the pressure regulator goes
i traced it as far as i could and it goes somewhere behind the cluster

it was just connected somewhere near the pressure gauge



same line from the underneath near the foot rest

no factory hoses run through there, likely it was used for an aftermarket boost gauge.

The car does have a boost/vac gauge in the the top by the door and a control box
Should I just leave them on the same line with the normal
Pressure gauge ?

i actually looked to save myself a little headache, but all i saw was S5 diagrams which are slightly different, not counting the 30,000 FD variants

I'm pretty sure there is a specific thread, if not sticky, about s4 vacuum routing. Could be wrong. Not about to go searching for it either lol

find anything on it

well i can just hook both parts using a vacuum tee to the only part thats on the intercooler

then you have an S5 intercooler on an S4 engine, the S4 intercooler had 2 ports on it. the rear port isn't of much importance anyways.
