Throttle body vac line ID please.

2.8 TB has two lines on top of it. The one on the driver side is for EGR I believe. Egr is gone. Can I cap the line? Also Can I get rid of the other line as well and cap it where it goes? The lines suck air or pull air? I know its a bit redundant, but I cant find an explanation simple enough for me to understand. Im a bit slow.

I have posted a pic with explanations in the past... You can't delete the non-EGR line as it's for the fuel pressure regulator...

Re: Throttle body vac line ID please.

is there any way to reroute the regulator to a different source? or get an electric regulator.

Why would you want to? Everything connected to the TB has a purpose or it wouldn't be connected there. And yes, the TB port is the closest manifold vacuum port for the FPR.

I want to simplify the TB. And make the VAC system smaller.
