Vacuum Hoses

[compressor mad]

alrite lads

got myself a gt4 at the start of the month with a few bits a bobs to sort out

put a clutch assembly and flywheel plus 5th gear selector fork and timing belt and tensioner on it this week

problem is i cannot remember how the vacuum hoses go back together at the rear of the engine just below the intake manifold

and the turbo is not boosting properly now

any help would be amazing

i also damaged 1 of the figure 8's taking off the sub frame any idea how much these are???

cheers lads

cheers mate i will see if this works

[dawesy]

if you removed the subframe to do the clutch (not necessary as the engine will come out the top) did you re-new the crush tubes in the rear lower arm to subframe? if not id do them as you can get a clunking from them.

the vac pipes connect to the two that are near the brake servo,

i didnt renew them but all check them out

the problem with the hoses is that i dont no were to start as thers about 5-10 pipes with t-pieces and i aint got a clue how to get them back together hopefully gtforbes diagram will help

alrite lads a put the new figure 8 on my gt4 last week and took it out for a spin to see how the clutch was since id done it 4months ago

to my suprise the turbo was working and she seemed to be pulling really well

do these vacuum pipes not matter what way they go on or have i just got really really lucky???

[GTForbes]

possibly really lucky, some of them you dont need but you'd need to plug them off to be on the safe side. was the diagram any help?

[compressor mad]

i tryed to use the diagram but there was more hoses there on the car than in the diagram hopefully a got away with it if not what could happen as a consiquence?

cheers
