    Hello,
    I'm wanting to use a G60 valve cover on my '89 and I'm wondering what others have done with the associated vacc tubing to and from the idle boost valve to make it neat and tidy?

    I have the G60 valve cover with the single hole on the top driver side for "PCV" valve, I understand there is more than one style G60 cover.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks,
    W

    Can I delete? Cap the vacc line pre throttle body and cap the line going to the air box? If I do this will the car stall frequently? And of course some sort of breather on the valve cover...

    I got rid of mine by blocking off various lines, but this might be what you are looking for. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...ight=pic+heavy

    My car runs good, I didn't really notice a difference. I'm no expert or anything on those valves though, or any of this vacuum bull****. Mine use to have A/C, but that might be irrelevant. So anyway I circled where I closed off the lines.
