2003 Mitsu Lancer sedan modded with turbo. Turbo vacuum lines not connected. need a diagram to assist in figuring out wtf is going on

  • bobpeters Oct 08, 2009

    It's aftermarket, and what I believe happened is someone removed the hoses while doing maintenance and didn't have the know-how to put them back correctly. 2 lines were melted. Trying to figure out the mess under the hood is a nightmare between the turbo and intercooler.

Was this a dealer option, or added later? if dealer option, you should be able to obtain the info from your dealer. if added later, the vacuum line connections should have been included in the after market suppliers installation instructions! did you buy it used? with the turbo installed, but not hooked up? did the lines just sort of 'come loose'?if the vacuum lines came loose, they are probably different lengths- should be able to figure which goes where. then replace with new lines- the rubber is probably 'tired'.
gets hot under there! if it's OEM (original equipment manufacturer)- 'optional' from the dealership, then they should have the info- or be willing to replace the lines- for a reasonable price! some knowledge and a few feet of vacuum hose shouldn't cost an arm & a leg! since you didn't state whether 'option' or 'after market', it's hard to give solid advice!
good luck!

Vacuum lines diagram for 1986 300zx non turbo

So my Nissans vacuum lines have been deleted, and it has a cool air intake installed, but it seems to die on me when I start it unless I give it some gas... makes the idle like an earthquake, the hose for the intake manifold (sucks in air , above the carborator) has nothing connected and I'm lost on how to figure where my car needs air and where it needs to be sealed? Could you help??
