[Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 3 vacuum pipe locations (pics added)

Post by Lee H »

Hi all,

Been swapping my rev 2 engine for a rev 3 one over last weekend however I am struggling on some of the vacuum pipes on the rev 3 inlet manifold.

I have looped the charcoal canister one on the top of the manifold round to bypass that.

On the rear of the manifold there are two connections pointing downwards, one on the right is blanked off from the factory but the one on the left is open. Where should this go to?

On the passenger side of the manifold there are two more connections facing out towards the gearbox. Unsure where these go to as well.

Thinking these are all to do with the boost control solonoid down the back of the engine which I don't have at the moment? I also have nothing connected to my BOV yet.

Anyone able to shed any light on this as have searched high and low for diagrams and can only find rev 2 ones.

Pictures would be particularly helpful.

Thanks

Still struggling so took some pictures. The link above from Loque is a rev 2, seems to be loads more on a rev 3.

One on the right here.

These two. One closest to camera looks a bit aftermarket.

All the ones on this picture.

Think I'm missing a bracket off the back of the engine with the water pipes on for throttle body cooling and also the pipe for the idle control valve?

Cheers
