power steering vaccum

[doom26464]

ok when installing my cooleze pipe in my angry rage i broke the vaccum niple off the power steering pump that goes to the accordian hose. Now I remeber reading somewhere that its not really important So I just capped the bottom of the pipe off like so:

I just left the broken nipple on the PS pump open Will it be fine Or does it really need that vacumm from the intake. PLZ some one confirm this becauses I don't really want to take off that PITA coolezze pipe again :cry:

I ran without the pump getting vacuum for about a year. Don't think it's a big deal. :dunno:

what? are you serious? I didn't think it was all the important hell I remeber running boost into by accident for a few months.(accidently mixxed it up with the line to wasgate :3d_frown:

Brett: You can run without it it just idles up the motor on full lock turns.

The $400+ is if you went to replace it.

Make sure you cap off the hose that goes to it so you don't get a leak on full lock and it'll be fine.

THANk god

as for caping the hose that goes to the intake I capped the one off the pipe as showen in the pick above but I can't cap the nipple on the ps pump as I busted the niple flat off

I’m running without my Idle Speedup Valve with no problems. Just make sure that you cap off the vacuum line under the intake that it connects to. Otherwise you will have unmetered air getting into your intake and it could cause problems.

Yes that is where the air from the valve is fed into the intake track.
