Default replace your vac lines....

This week the car started acting up. It just did not want to rev. I still had boost but it seemed slower.

after an inspection today I found that my Vac lines where cracked and dryed out.. The one that leads to the bypass valve had three full cracks in it. My car is only 2 years old.

Do your self a favor and replace them..

IM to the BPV. The car had 30k and the line was completely dry-rotted. We replaced the cheap line with a slicone line.

Default I was planning on doing it with silicone lines.

I am even thinking of color indexing it.

Silver for most, red for turbo.
