shoulda put it under your dash or something to keep the vacuum lines short.

rican_nick · 08-03-2009, 08:24 PM

pretty cool.. the length of the vaccum lines woudl be my only concern

burnsauto · 08-03-2009, 08:24 PM

not too bad, just as long as you safely routed the line. you dont want to kink or break that line and blow your engine because you didn't feel like popping your hood all the time.

Besides possibly kinking or damaging the vac line, is there any detrimental effect of running lines that long? Like, 4-5 feet?

BustedS13 · 08-03-2009, 11:06 PM

mr2 guys run manual boost controllers into the cabin all the time. although i somehow feel the routing would be shorter.

ChicagoS14 · 08-03-2009, 11:48 PM

Cool, good idea... as long as the lines dont get messed with should work well, just dont move it while driving.

VYKTR · 08-03-2009, 11:50 PM

i guess its cool in a stealth way

zenki.life · 08-04-2009, 02:10 AM

hope you keep an eye on it.....

GSXRJJordan · 08-04-2009, 04:17 AM

Boost controller vacuum lines (most importantly the controller to the wastegate) should be kept as short as humanly possible.

YES! More air has to change pressure before the wastegate opens... basically guarantees boost spike.

The engine bay is directly behind the driver's seat, running vac lines into the cabin would still keep them very short.

S-Nation S13 · 08-04-2009, 09:45 AM

lol not so hidden anymore ..JK JK great idea just thinking about the lengthof the vac lines and how secure you made em..hehe dont want them falling off ..

Row · 08-04-2009, 10:25 AM

something different, thinking outside the box

WoolyS14DET · 08-04-2009, 10:32 AM

Id be more worried about the boost spike thats going on due to the length of the vacume lines. clean install tho just keep an eye on that boost gauge and dont get "boost" happy and blow the motor

Maiku240sxS14 · 08-05-2009, 01:20 PM

+1 for being creative...

mattro · 08-05-2009, 07:20 PM

thanks for the comments, i might put it a bit closer to the engine bay, idk we'll see how it works out.

and i realized i cant use my gps now, lol

I don't see the problem with it... You can run a harder material line to resist the expansion.

TanaMU · 08-07-2009, 01:33 PM

terrible idea

Propaganda · 08-07-2009, 01:35 PM

Here's a thought:
If your friend was in the car, there's no doubt they will fuck with it

ohhhh they would too.

make a sign that says "dont touch ANYTHING" on your dash.

and punch them in the face when they do.

or better yet, take out the pass seat. less weight right?
