couple of questions

hello again,
most of you have seen rercently that i had a blown head gasket and as a result was changing a bunch of stuff,heads,miniram,cam,etc. well now i have some questions because the miniram eliminated my egr, what vacuum lines went with it and also do i have to plug any of them (like the one under the TB)i also cant remember where the lines on the coil went?
thanks in advance...also i think my intake gasket shifted a little when installing the miniram will that cause any significant problems?

1. Get a manual
2. Start over


The intake gaskets shifting can cause vacuum leaks and coolant leaks, none of what you want. If you think they shifted, then only option (IMO) would be to pull the intake and start again.

i do have a manual...i was wondering anyone who has the miniram what vacuum lines did they eliminate or plug.
the intake gasket did not move much the bolts go through holes on it so its close but i believe the heads and miniram are gasket matched? what the hell sunday i should be able to crank it up for the first time in a month so ill see then what happens
