It's the little solenoid that's attached to the same bracket as the ignitor chip and has like 3 vaccum lines running out of it. Where should I route the vaccum lines that come out of this? Or can I just completely eliminate this thing?(that's what i'd like to do). I've heard you have problems holding boost if you eliminate it or that it can mess with your emisions system. I already eliminated my charocoal canisters. I don't really care about any legalities involved with removing it, and if it is removable should i plug anything, such as vaccum lines or power sources? Thanks.

Here's the stats for my car if needed.

1993 Fastback- CA18DET, stock internals, stock ecu- Stock intake, KA24E maf- Rebuilt stock turbo w/ HKS actuator running 10psi of boost- New exhaust manifold, o2 housing, downpipe- HKS super sequential b.o.v.
