Me and my roomates rigs both have only THREE vacuum lines.
Two to the steering pump. Those have nothing to do with the emissions only purpose is to idle up the engine when dry steering at idle for more steering hydro pressure.
Then one line from intake to the fuel pressure regulator. Mine is tapped off the plastic three way splitter/dist fitting on the top corner of the intake plenum.
Thats it, the rest of that crap is worthless.
get rid of all the lines, the metal rack of line between the vlv cover and intake too. Plug off all remaining open ports.
Remove the egr. Cut a steel plate and cap the head and intake opening for egr passage.
Anyone thats ever heard my roomate Jacks truck knows it runs very crisp and makes lots of power.
Works perfect.
