Default Hard Lines and routing..show me yours.
Finally, about to route my hard lines,..which I still haven't figured out exactly which layout I am going to pick..that is functional, and also esthetic. I have just a small hand bender, which should get the job done no problem, also my kinda cheesy flare tool....but, also should work no problem. Other then the obvious... anyone have any tips, or ideas,..or a heads up to give me on does and dont's? Wanna post some pics to give me an idea or 20? Also do you guys coat your lines/powder coat etc? Planning on everything being black....but I don't know.

I planned on running my vacuum lines to WG's, BOV's with this...as well as some of my oil lines, and fuel lines. For the vacuum I THOUGHT about running a couple of small vacuum blocks...maybe to break up ONE location where they all meet. Here's what I have....and what it is going on.



..and if anyone has ideas on routing...I have a few routing pic or two I made off this photo...if anyone wants to take a shot. Only difference is, the bov's are now in the front bumper area down onthe FMIC. Pic at bottom...

I wouldn't recommend mounting a boost control solenoid or vacuum block to the chassis if you run hardlines (this may be obvious to you, but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere).

I appreciate that. You're talking about chassis flex/vibration correct? Yeah man I agree. Although all the mounts in the car are all solid I was planning on still running a silicone hose from booster and T'ing off that, to vacuum blocks mounted off engine. Will use small stainless braided hose(ptfe-fragola hose) in area's mounted direct to chassis...just to be sure.

Thanks
