Question on Keith's Rail Kit???
OK, some time ago I purchased the primary and secondary kit from Keith, and at the time I was going to go with a big single turbo.
Things have changed since then, and I would like to just fit the secondary kit, whilst keeping the stock twins. So I need to keep the solenoid rack.
I have tried mailling Keith, but he has not replied. So if there is anyone out there that can help, I would be in their debt.
Thanks

I dont think you can do it. There is something on the inside of the Lower Intake Manifold that needs to be blocked off before the rail will fit. Keep in mind I dont have twins (and never did on my car) so I cant be sure but there is a block-off plate that is so tight fitting that you have to replace the bolt holding it to a lower profile bolt. So whatever that is, I think it is required for twins and you cant do the rail without it.

Shawn is fight, you must block that thing off for the airpump on the LIM. But if your not worried about emissions you can fit it on and use the simplefied vacuum hose diagram. Just buy the block off plates and hook it up like this diagram( this will keep them seq too).

That is the air control valve. Ifyou are not running the air pump, you can remove it and block it off. I am running Keith's secondary rail with the twins.
shawnk is correct about the lowest of the 3 bolts that will hold the blockoff plate has to be lower profile to clear the rail.

here is a pic of the secondary rail...(test fitting harness and other things) but you can see you are a little pushed for space. You could relocate some of the rats nest...and do the simplification (if seq)
What shawnk is talking about is emission related...and it holds a turbo control solenoid valve.

OK, my question was can I run the secondary kit, whilst keeping the solenoid rack (rats nest) in place.
I am no longer running the air pump and have a block-off plate already fitted. OK I understand that I may need a low(er) profile screw for this plate. May even look at a counter sunk screw. Which shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for the answers.
