If your talking about just the silicon vacuum lines i have it done on mine. Not much i can say to help you out about it. I just carefully looked over everything in the engine bay for the black plastic lines, pulled them off.. and cut the new silicon ones to length. The hardest ones to get to are on the backside of the engine, i think one or two connect back here.

Just do 'em one at a time. Take an old one off, cut a new one to length, put it in. That way you won't forget which ones go where. Pretty simple really, I did it...

Hi Doug,

Nice pics.. If I ever decide to do that I know how to do it now by simply pulling one at a time like you guys have said.

Nice engine bay Doug!!!

Thanks guys, just did it - EASY job, if the intake is off. If you use the Lindsey kit on an N/A car you will have one extra T-fitting and a GENEROUS amount of extra line.

Features that I like:

Silicon will remain pliable and not crack with exposure to heat and oil

Flexible and easy to route

Colors available

Metal T-fittings won't break when you look at them wrong

Metal T-fittings are at 90 degree angles, makes for keeping things strait and neat easier

And as you mentioned - it looks damned good.


Thumbls-up to Lindsey, first time I have done business with them and it certainly won't be the last. I ordered two kits, great service and promt shipping - and most importantly - GREAT product!!!!

Colored vacuum lines are faster and match the ignition wires.

I have done not the vacuum line change myself. But I am hoping to do so in the future. I kept this pic from someone's post in the past. I am not sure if it is off an NA or turbo engine, but I hope this will be useful:
