I just did a complete head overhual, and finally got the head back on. i replaced my pcv system, and timing belt ETC, now i am doing all of my vacuum hoses, and i have no idea where most of them go; but i may be able to piece them together. But i cant figure out what hose connects to the passenger side of my intake manifold. Is it the fuel pressure regulator ? or some kind PCV vent ? i have no clue. I also am getting some silicone vacuum hoses, which run about $3.40 per foot, and i have to buy the whole 15 foot package...that's $50 bucks in vacuum hose... + the 5 foot of the larger size i need.... Do i need silicone vacuum hose? i heard if i use normal vacuum hose, it will get too flexible when hot and suck closed under vacuum due to the high temperatures created by the turbo. is this true ? any other information or tips to make my life easier would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

 

Thats too expensive, Even IPD sells it for cheaper..

there should be a Vac diagram under your hood..

 

Silicone Boost/Vacuum Hose

 

Hope these help.

I purchased silicone hose at Oreillys and it wasn't that bad.

 

Thanks frog, i printed those out. now to figure out where the t-pipe pcv is.

so it connects to the nipple that comes off the same hose that goes from my oil trap to back next to my turbo ?

 

The PCV kit main hose that wraps around the motor has the fat hose that hooks on top of the oil box and the thin hose that connects to the passenger side of the intake manifold.

 

Thank you, that is what i needed to know. its been a while since i took these parts off, since i had a lot of work to do to my head. its been about a month. I only have time to work on it on the weekends.

 

Did you use any specific instructions to remove / install your head?

Why did you dig into it in the first place?
