yeah its not gonna work right at allll without a vaccuum system. if youre new to supras and the 7m, then ill tell you these motors are very sensitive to boost and vaccuum leaks..

the vac system needs all the hoses. a pinhole leak can throw off ur idle alot. there is a diagram on top of ur hood. pretty simple to follow. if for some odd reason it doesnt have it. u can search for it.

This page may help you figure out how the vacuum line should be run.

i have a cousin that tells me that i don't need all the vacum lines b/c they are not necessary and he said something like you can smell gas or something like that inside the car so he told me to wait and not do anything to it so he can redo the lines differently so it doesn't shout inside but outside the car...he also said the vsv and vtv is not important so i don't need it...i don't know if he is telling the truth or not but he makes it sound so hard to hook up everything...anybody let me know if anyone knows anything..

you need the vsv's and ALL vacuum lines hooked up. use the picture above, buy some vacuum hose and hook everything up properly like the way it was designed.

your cousin does not know supras. it sucks, and it IS pretty hard to trace everything and make sure its all hooked up right, especially when you arent very familiar with your engine bay, but yeah man.. do it.. yo.. DO it (ben stiller)
