hope this helps.

if you have a boost control, it is "T'd" to the vac line.

You use the stock recirc valve vacuum feeds. You can disconnect them from under the intercooler pipes where your new bov's attach. On the passenger side the hose runs from the balance tube to a fitting under the outer intercooler pipe. On the drivers side, it runs from a port on the side of the plenum down to the intercooler pipe.

You will also need to cap off where the "U" hoses from the stock recircs attach.

hot them in yesterday. they look great. they sound good too. the only time i have noticed any decrease in smoothness is when i would be driving slow and put my foot all the way into it. it sputters a little. if i ease into the first bit then it is fine.

idles same as before.

i am happy with them, also did a k&n cone at the same time because there was no way that i was putting the OEM air box back it (so hard to remove).

i deleted the recirc valves and every thing related to the OEM set up in a way that it can be reverted in in less than an hour.

thanks for the help.

you can connect them to any stable vacuum source on the manifold or to the nipples on the back of the accordion pipes.
