Thanks

to what? non-sequential?

if you don't have the cat anymore and don't care about emission, remove everything. Maybe just keep the fuel pressure solenoid if you have the stock regulator.

ok i know i can pretty much eliminate everything, but i need to know exactly what everything is, i was kinda hopuin for a hose diagram or somethin to show exactly what can be removed, and no there is no cat, precat, or air pump.......

well i haven't done the mod but i am pretty sure how it must be done.

in fact, you removed all the solenoid rack with all there vaccum. You will have to remove the double throttle also or keep that solenoid if you don't want to remove it.

Just check the factory plan and try to figure out what to do, that is the best we can do.

e-mail me if you have question.

i might try something.

A year ago a fellow forum member, Spigot, emailed this to me, this diagram he modified was extremely helpful to me, so Matt I hope you don't mind me posting it.

It's a diagram of the four or five vac lines that are kept after a non-seq conversion, it made sense to me and is what I used to do my conversion, any questions let me know.

Did everything work ok for you, did you notice any difference when taking out all the hoses, by the way thanks......

oh by the way, what did you use to cap off all the nipples, i have been using the little rubber caps from autzone but they are like 2 bucks for a pack of 2, a little pricey for me

FD Racer

Napa auto parts sells them in bulk from behind the counter, much cheeper.



The only solenoids I still have a vacuum line going to are the Fuel pressure regulator and the purge control solenoids. Car runs and idles great. I'm thinking of getting a new fuel pressure regulator so I'll probably ditch the FPR solenoid soon as well.
If you use your ecu/pfc to control boost, you will have to leave the precontol solenoid hooked up.

The conversion went really well, I was either going to fix my boost leak (had a feeling it was a check valve problem, randomly I wouldn't get full boost) or go non-seq, after pulling the intake manifold and breaking a solonoid, and a long-time desire to try it out I went non-seq. Funny thing, you learn so much from researching which lines to pull that I could have fixed the boost problem and have a very good understanding of what lines do what... So I have a feeling going non-seq is about just as easy (maybe not easy, but similar) to doing the vac replacement job.

If by "everything work ok" you mean did I notice a difference in performance, the day after I did the conversion I went to the track, without playing with the boost I was pulling low 13's with 10 psi of boost. I was pulling low 13's before the conversion but I was using 12 psi of boost... I don't attribute power increase to the conversion though, because I'm sure I had a boost leak before...

I don't know a good source for the rubber caps but try and find the bulk one's FD Racer recommended, I paid the $2 for 2 because I didn't know any better. Don't get the cheap thin walled silicone ones, make sure to get the thick black rubber one's, and I also applied some black RTV silicone to the nipple before putting the cap on, and then zip tied it too. Having one of the caps pop off would be just like having a hose pop off, which is one reason we do the non-seq conversion for in the first place
