Rockin'! Thanks for the pics Roger -- I'm about to the do same thing (venturi delete + LR vacuum tubes + replacing all the radiator hoses). Except every time I start to do something, something else breaks!
I pulled off the J-boot today to get at the cooling tubes below it, only to have the lip of the J-boot which fits over the turbo outlet complete disintegrate. It literally fell apart!
So i've gotta get a new J-boot, among my several other parts orders. I'm going to order a Lindsey Boost enhancer so I can just get rid of the CV while i'm in there too.
The AOS to the j-boot tube -- did you just pick up bulk line and cut it yourself, or was there a particular part number you purchased? If so, lemme know, as i'll be heading to the store on Saturday for the same thing.
P.S. If you have more pics of the process, can you either post them up or send them to my gmail account please? Thanks Roger.

Steve, I think Roger told me he just went to Kragen or something and bought generic 5/8" hose by the foot.
So... what does a venturi do? Besides cause problems? What was it meant to do?

When I did mine I remember that the OAS elbow was the worst fitting and hardened piece of the bunch. I found a 90 deg. hose that matched the diameter of the OAS and cut it down to match the rest of the plumbing. I forget the part but remember it came off of a Ford.

It facilitates clutch changes.
I am sure Andial did it - its fine like that, trust me.

I am currently poolside at Tahoe and I am not using the computer I had the pics on. I took a lot of pics becuase I was thinking of doing a small write up on the process.....I know there is already a good one but I still was unsure after following this guideline and my write up would be from a beginners DIY point of view so much more detail and pics. I will post the pics with some writing tomorrow night when I get back home.

BTW - With that evil Venturi out the car feels so much better. I'm getting about 2 ml/mercury (is that how you write it) more when I let off the gas and at idle.
I put in new 55# injectors and a new chip as well. Car feels much stronger and with this chip I shoudl be able to push to 18psi. I had a dyno appointment yesterday morning but they were running late and I didnt have any time to waste so I left. Hoping I can get one in early next week.
