What kind of piping did you use? hosetechniques? Isn't there
a danger of that hose getting pinched as it goes through the
firewall?

On a related subject I changed (I think) all the old vacuum/pressure
hoses, but to be sure, somebody has a vacuum diagram? Jim, how
many feet of 3.5mm and 6mm did you use?

Wish I had ordered their biggest hoses too for the idle air
bypass device.
