Anyways, I'm going to be installing an ECU controlled boost solenoid tonight which will mean my evap solenoid won't be used. If the evap solenoid is disconnected, couldn't you just run a vacuum line directly from the port behind the throttle body to the line near the drivers side fuel injector cover? I don't think there would be any issues since the evap system isn't connected, and if you haven't already installed the clips, you basically only have to deal with the throttle body clip and not have to remove your belt and AC Compressor.
For others, this would turn a 1 hour job into a 10 minute job I'm thinking, and avoid all of the burns and cuts that come along with it. I did mine while the engine was hot, which in hindsight, probably wasn't the best idea haha 
Good idea or bad idea?
edit: Also, since it's somewhat believed that the evap solenoid is fairly useless to begin with, couldn't you also bypass it regardless of it's connector being replaced by an EBCS? |
You would be effectively pressurizing your tank with whatever PSI you are pushing. The solution would be to cap both those ports. Which @
jamesm did
Following your line of thought, you could install a line that is plugged in the middle thus not allowing air to move in between them.
