Don\'t think it really matters which you use, dude, so long as the largest one goes to the brake servo.

Yeah, they generally just have a little black rubber bung over the end IIRC. I guess if you\'ve not got that, the old bodge of a short bit of vaccuum line with a bolt the right size screwed into the end to make it airtight\'d work?

There are a couple on the left side of the plenum, just over the turbos. Blank off any not used !

Just make sure you use good quality vac pipe or it won\'t last long. My first pipe welded shut under vacuum and heat :Giggle

Best Bodge is to get a partly threaded bolt and cut the thread off. Works very well !
