The throttle body elbow needs to be a 75mm to 63mm reducer 60 deg piece. MEEK does sell them but they're not cheap from memory. I don't think you can get that part commercially, he was saying something about having them made up specially.

I MAY have the one I was using as a temp on my car somewhere.

RE The wax pellet thing, can you just block that pipe off? Or is that going to cause other issues?

 

[DOUGMO]

which bit are you talking windex?
the idle control?

 

[WindeX]

There is a pipe that runs from the idle control to the intake(just before the throttle body).

wax pellet block off is a plate sandwiched in between the 5 screw plate on throttle body from memory

Anyone know the size of the silicone elbow I need to get to attach the throttle body to the 63mm pipe? I am pretty sure it needs to be 70mm or so.

dont know if its an option for you but samco do do that hose

Seems like I need to read up more about what this side of the wax pellet does.

From more reading on the EGR, you could essentially remove the vacuum from the EGR and it would never open if I am reading the maintenance docs right.

Which leads me to my next question, the stock boost control module thingy, from what I have read it needs to remain plugged into the ECU, but do the lines need to be hooked up?

Factory BC needs to be plugged in so the ecu see's it,
but doesn't need to be plumbed in at all.

pft, I've had mine disconected for ages and havent noticed anything....

Not saying you wrong but could you please explain why?
If theres a good reason ill plug mine back in even thought im not using it. I also havent knoticed a differnce but maybe im not considering something.

 

[Liberoz]

Your ecu is a lot happier when its seeing it than when its not plugged in
you dont have it plumbed in just the electrical side plugged in.

ECU is a lot happier?? I've had my car running without it for over 2 years. No problems.

Well she has all her pipes reconnected, and errant vaccum lines blocked and she started and idled fine!

Now to put the bumper back on.
