You are right, I really don't know. It's running right up around pegging at .8 but I don't think it's getting to the level it was before. Then it is quickly fading back down though. I should be running at or above 1 bar and before installing these valves it would quickly peg the needle and stay there.

Frustrating!! I'll try the zip tie tonight before swapping the old valves back in to see if that fixes it. Thanks for the idea.

 

And the good news is I'm becoming an expert on swapping DV's out. If anyone local needs some help let me know!

 

Well I tie-wrapped off the vacuum lines and no discernible difference. No time to swap them tonight but I will try tomorrow night. I tried getting a video but I don't have anything to hold the phone. It really isn't even getting up to .8 anymore and then it is dropping back to between .6 and .7 pretty quickly while still at WOT.

The driver's side lower hose was pretty soft. Are there any alternatives to the factory hoses out there?
