Throttle Body Vacuum Lines

[undefined0000]

I have been taking my throttle body on and off for the past day or so to try and resolve some leak issues, and I was wondering does it matter which hose gets plugged into where on the top of the throttle body, the 4 nozzles. I've been trying to keep it the way it was and I might have gotten it mixed up by now. Could this be contributing to my car running like crap?

Possibly. Follow the diagram:

I just have mine capped off and zip tied. It runs fine, but perhaps can run better? Not sure, haven't tried switching/mixing it up.

Did you just cap them off without blocking off the egr & removing the other emissions?

I removed all of mine. Blocked of the egr and tore everything out. So nice and runs great.

Any horsepower advantages to this? I might do this after I get all of my boost leaks worked out

No hp gain. Just helps clean up the bay a bit (no emissions and less lines) & smaller chance of having a boost/vacuum leaks.

Don't mean to bring up an old thread but I can't find any write ups on this on a 2g, anyone know where I can get the info on doing this?
