Thanks tapping the throttle body might me a pain in the a-- you know. I gues teeing the booster is a real good vaccum.

I did notice the boost gauge being more steady, and having a better idle, when I had the TB tapped. Keep that in mind. But yes it is much harder to do.

I tapped close to the TB off the line, which isn't that hard to get to, but works well for me and can't be that much different than the TB itself...

Do you know the actual sizes of the lines I might get some silicone ones?

I replace the vacuum line from the photos with silicone ones, but all they gave me where a CEL. I have to do it again to see what was the problem.
