Idle Control Delete - Question On Ballance Tube

I'm cleaning up underneath my manifold, mostly all those hoses. One thing I didn't understand on how the system worked in the vacuum chamber. What is the purpose of the two hoses that go from the vacuum chamber to the ballance tube via two pipes? (two metal pipes on either side of the throttle body)

Can they be looped or pluged? I'm getting rid of the whole vacuum chamber assembly.

If I understand correctly, all these pipes do is allow a path from the vac chamber to the throttle body for idle control bypass (valve feeding from intake plenum to throttle body). So in theory they could be plugged?

At least thats what Idea I get following the valves i wanted gone.

easiest is to just run a hose from one pipe to the other, replacing the lower chamber with a bit of hose. If it is for a track car and you aren't interested in any vacum being available you can remove the whole balance tube but will need to tig the holes up on the runners.

Mine idled best with no a/c, no power steering and no balance tube, just the screw behind the throttle bodies.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      No no. The Audi boost controller was made from a Norgren (or equivalent) 1/4" pneumatics pressure regulator, a similar (looking) relief valve (to create the "gated" function to keep the boost off the actuator until wanted) and a check valve plumbed in parallel with those two, to relieve the boost back out of the wastegate line after the boost event was over. It was the inclusion of that check valve, used sort of "backwards" as a relief valve, that was the stroke of genius that made the rest of it work nice. The only reason I stoped using it was because it was like any other manual/pneumatic boost controller - it's settings changed from season to season. The Profec is much more consistent winter to summer.

      A couple of months of gentle driving will be fine. There is a risk that you will kill it. A heavy workout will probably kill 3rd gear. Continued use will wreck the input shaft bearing.

      That's because R34 RB25DET is a pull clutch gearbox. I have that clutch, behind 25Neo, in front of R33 gearbox. I have brand new R34 turbo gearbox, in a box (cardboard) in the shed right now, and it will be getting used with the same engine and clutch, because I also have, in a much smaller box next to it, the front plate to convert the new box to push clutch.

      Are you planning to ever come on boost with the RB25DET? The torque of the motor alone will break the little box. It's not a matter of if, it's when.
