I didn't like the idea of the octopus type vacuum piece and decided to clean up the engine compartment. This is a photo of some steel lines I made and ran from the driver's side across the firewall to the passanger side near the solenoid pack. From there I fabricated a vacuum manifold which routes small lengths of hose from the manifold to the solenoids.

The large line is the feed to from the intake manifold to the vacuum manifold and the small hard line is back to the wastegate. The middle size hard line is for the vapor canister. It looks much better and works great.

Thanks, I like the new look of minimal vacuum lines/hoses/tubes. Also the realibility of the minimal hoses and plastic tubes should also prevent unscheduled repairs due to vacuum hose failure. :)
