there is a strange restrictor leading to the Throttle body that I don't know if it has to be there.
I am just wondering if anyone has on of those.
also, does anyone have a photo of where the vacuum lines from the TB go to?
there is about 5 that I can see.
thanks.

there is a restrictor ina hose that goes to your brake booster. It has a 1-way valve in it.

Your TB has no vaccume lines, your IM does. You have 2 coolant lines on your TB.
It has everything from VRIS to FPR, brake booster, ect.

the IM....(what are the sensors behind the TB at the bottom of the manifold [under the TB sorta]?) and where do they need to get hooked up to?
thanks

I think they have to do with your egr, but i am not 100 percent positive. I cant remember on the k8 anymore. Check out the online manual and you will find vaccuum diagrams that lable everything.

Are you taking about the restrictor thing in the intake manifold behind teh throtle body. It pretty much divides air to the 3 front runners and the 3 rear runners. Its probably knifedged

nah, not that
btw, how far away do you think that 7 nipple disty is?
I think my current disty has a bad cam sensor
