was looking at the fuel tank vapour recirculation system. Once the solenoid opens it gives the tank gases a path to the throttle body and also around the back of the rocker cover in the hard pipes and down with the wastegate actuator pipe to the bottom of the TIP. Its looks like its designed so that the solenoid will only open to give gases a pathway to the engine in vacuum conditions, otherwise the line to the throttle body would become basically a boost leak if open at other times. I want to delete the line that runs down to in front of the turbo. It looks to be overkill and has all the extra soft/hard pipe work which can be tidied up etc - has anyone done this delete (retaining the fuel vapour circuit into the throttle body) and had no adverse results?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,
