Ok, I was feeling like my life wasn't difficult enough and I decided to=
redo all my vacuum lines on my '86 4kq. I was careful to remove one end a=
t a time to ensure that I was getting the lines hooked up right. However, =
I noticed that there were a few issues anyway...
First, there is a green line that runs behind the fender to the vacuum =
thingy, but where it runs up into the upper firewall to the fresh air vent =
there is a "T". One end of this junction goes through the firewall, the ot=
her end is just open to the engine compartment. what goes here??? BTW, I =
removed the A/C, could this be a remnant?
Second, I no longer have the aux vacuum pump on the head, is there a wa=
y to use the left over vacuum reservoir behind the fender to help out the r=
est of the system?
Lastly, when I swapped in this motor (last one blowed up) I did a littl=
e homework and found that a turbo head and cam would work in place of the s=
tock unit. So far no troubles, other then what seems to be some minor grem=
lins. Which brings me to my question. Do any of you have an idea if the s=
tock ignition timing should work or should I have my local Audi shop tinker=
with it? Any other parts/ideas I should look at to help the engine take a=
dvantage of all this extra air it's getting?
Again thank you all in advance,
Jesse Erickson
