Default PSE vacuum hose installation diy instructions?

The vacuum hose is rather loose, does anyone have instructions on routing?

And my car has worked great the last 6 months! PM me if you have any questions. I'll try to help.

This video gives a few very brief glimpses of the vacuum lines on a PSE, particularly around 1:55.

I was curious, what video are you referring to?
Do you have an S model car? and did you get the non-PSE AWE system? If so, you can use the instructions for the vac lines that come with the AWE, and since since the car already has vac lines run its a breeze. If it's a non-S car then its a whole different ball game. I too just did the non-PSE car to AWE system on my Carrera S. The console install took me 10 mins, and Porsche charged me $154 to program the button. Below is a vid of my car driving after the install in case you're interested. Good luck and enjoy!

Does anyone have the PSE installation instructions? I'm mainly interested in where the vacuum hoses will go if someone has a schematic. I will be having my dealer program the console of course.
Yes. Is this what you DM'd me about?

Great deal- I have a 4S non-PSE car and am looking to do exactly that, the AWE w/PSE exhaust plus the PSE switch. Just for reference, it does have Sport Chrono.

It's isn't, my apologies. I'm not sure why I included that in my comment.

Having an S configured car does put the vacuum lines in place, but when adding PSE additional hose is required and routed a bit differently through the engine carrier. You might get by with re-routing to the AWE valves, but just to be safe you should order-up some of the vacuum hose and cli;s. IMHO

No additional plastic vacuum line is needed. You can re-use the long length from the existing setup. You do need to get the braided steel vacuum lines, though.

Just measured roughly 1/8" inner diameter. This is for the white plastic tubing.
