I have mt ka turbo finally almost done. It starts, but can not idle (vacume) I knew it wouldnt idle because i ddi not do anything with the open vacume lines, but i wanted to see if my car will turn over. Basically I do not know what to do with 3 vacume lines, There is one that used to go to the stock intake. People told me to leave it open, but this is not working, what do I do with that line? I routed the bigger one back to the charge pipe. Also the 2 vacume lines that used to go to al the smog stuff on the drivers side fender. What do i do with those 2 lines? Do i just connect them to each other?

the one that went to stock intake on passengers side, you need to put it there again.it's either idle air control valve line or another one that controls EGR stuff.

the two that went to the drivers side were probably the air pump (pumps air into exhaust) lines. plug them off, as stated above.

I'm having the same problem! Iplugged the two vac lines on mine and re-routed the one coming out of the intake to the charge pipe and still idling rough. I wonder if it could be cause I left the egr tube unplugged.
