Removing the Vapor return line?
Removing the Vapor return line? I dont like it. I want it gone. Those 2 lines on the drivers side that run to my intake. One is for fuel, and apparently the other one is for emissions? Can I remove it? I have no AIR or EGR, what needs to be disabled? Thanks!

Any downside to doing this ? Im ready to yank that sh*t off right now before I reassemble everything. Should the evap be deleted 1st or will it hurt to remove it then have the local speedshop edit it out ?

Verdad Gallardo No their is no downside to doing this and it's fine if you pull it out first and then have the code deleted if it does set one. The evap line is right next to the feed line, just pull the evap line off where it connects to the hard line and cap the hard line off with a vacuum cap and since the LSX doesn't have a hook up for it, that's all you have to do.

The two rubber hoses wrapped in silver heat tape connecting to the fuel rail are obviously fuel lines. You obviously can't remove those...

Cool, last question - what size fuel disconnect did you use, or better yet how did you remove it. My 3/8 fuel disconnect doesnt seem to release it. Perhaps Im not being persuasive enough 
For clarification, the LSX does have provisions for the evap. What they no longer provide is a 'mounting bracket' for the evap.

Yes, I used the plastic disconnect - I'll pick up a metal one tonight.

if you cap it you wont be able to fill up your gas tank when empty. been there dont that, you need a vent valve.
i got rid of everything to the tank (cept i left the line on should remove that sometime.)
