That should get you started. My $0.02 is to use the vacuum chart listed in the first link, and buy a roll of good silicone hose and just start taking the old stuff off, cutting new to length, and reinstalling. Who knows, you might find a better way of routing lines.

Re: silicone vac hose

Then you connect the hard line to the nipples with.....silicone vacuum hose?

Re: silicone vac hose

yup.. about 1" long or i just use fresh vac hose or the stock fittings ie the 90* bends etc
this also gives you a nice place to run and attach the FI harness wires, Tidying up the
engine. Especially if you have created your own harness

Suppose it still leaves the silicone hose connection as the weakest link in the system, but you'll only have about 1/10th the length of hose to crack, split, and chase down when you do spring a leak. Cool idea. Never thought of that.






Also never thought of adding a turbo to a Fiero either!
