Hey, i'm in the process of capping all my vaccum lines, and i'm going off of a link to a diagram posted on a different thread, but i don't know where the 4 lines that went to the throttle body, which all four are capped now, go and what to cap. I trace them back to under the intake...

So i guess my question is, do those four lines meet with four of the six up at your fuel pressure solenoid?
 
I believe I pulled all of those off.
Now that you mention it I don't think they are even capped off.
Then again mine is a 90, I think we have different intakes too.
 
Hmm maybe. What do you mean by "all those" you pulled off? I capped the ones on the throttle body but i don't know where they go to so i can cap that end or if i even need to
 
I don't have a pic (maybe someone else does) of the back of an intake manifold but there are 4 hard lines for vacuum. They don't do anything of themselves. You'll want at least one vacuum line to go to your FPR solenoid for cold starts (it ups your FP for starting only), but it's not 100% needed. If you can't trace them all back, at least plug them vs leaving them open until you can.

Again, those 4 lines under the intake will be hardlined then 're-appear' on the other side and you can continue tracking them down.
 
Yea, hoses on the throttle body intake side of manifold get capped, and if your running a manual boost controller, the little nipple just past the air filter gets capped and so does the nipple on the pipe coming out of the pressure side of turbo. With a manual boost controller the nipple on your waste gate is connected to your boost controller. Also the larger hose that is on Air intake gets capped that ran from the charcoal fuel canister. You cap the Intake and leave the canister uncapped.

Also if you don't have a EGR block off plate yet I'd recommend making one out of a double ply soda can. Removing those lines from EGR valve will give you exhaust and boost leak.
