ok cool thanks for the info, I just ordered enough vac lines to replace all of them in the engine bay, I figured I would get it done while I have most of them out, I ordered the extra EGR tube, just heard somewhere that people said they were long, but I think they were talking about something else.
also the VTCS and VICS sensors.. those are the ones that are right over the throttle body right? on the right side bolted onto the IM?
thanks for the info. can't wait to get it in

ahh, ok I was looking at that yesterday and realized that was more likely it, but, so for those I just what..plug the vac hole or use it for something else from the IM and run the vac lines to each other ? and as far as plugging them in, do they really plug into each other or do I just leave them plugged in like that.. ?

Same here. Just run a small vacuum line from one to the other.

ok, what about the electrical plugs, I can keep them there right?
Just plug them back in you don't have to worry about hooking up any vac lines to them.

ok cool, when people said hooking them into each other I wasn't sure if they were talking about the vac lines or the electrical harness plugs maybe plugging into each other, but that didn't make much sense,
- should go nice and smooth now, glad I got the small quarks out of the way.

well got it installed today, took allll damn day(I went kinda slow and made sure I got everything done correctly,got it running well first shot), got a nice sunburn on my back, but it was worth it, sounds great now, and replaced all the vac lines with some nice blue ones,
quick question, that support bar in the back, that has those 2 bolts in the back of the IM, they don't line up at all, and I couldn't really bent the bracket without some serious muscle, which I gave up on very quickly.. so question is.. make a difference, it's a lot lighter and pretty sturdy.. no big deal right?

Not correct. Without the support bar you're gonna be putting a lot of strain on the manifold and it will eventually crack, especially with all the vibes being transmitted by the engine.
All you have to do to make the bar fit with the 626 IM is place a couple washers between the bar and the block. By pushing the bar outward towards the firewall, it will line up with the holes on the manifold. The holes are oval too, so it gives you quite a bit of adjusting space, and with a couple washers it should be a piece of cake to make it all line up.
I would highly suggest you do this.

ooooh, I see, I heard someone using washers but I was wondering what the heck they were talking about because they didn't even come close to lining up, but now I see that you put them in the bottom.. so I will do that, thanks
also I would just like to add, I HATE the egr tube lol, such a PITA, my friend got it to fit in there, I am just not good with twisting those kinds of things into place to get them to fit, not my thing lol, and I just hacked the stock egr tube after 30+min of trying to unscrew it, and then just take it out all together w/IM, not worth the time

You just plug in the sensors like they were but you don't need any vac lines for them.

Actually that is possible, but when I saw ken at OCC he mentioned that I had connected them correctly so I will assume when they said to route them to each other it means exactly that, which would be to run a vac line to the other side, so that they see the same pressure, I guess capping them would work too, but I just feel better about my way.. here is a pic

Im in the process of installing the 626 Manifold but i ran into a little problem. The EGR bolt wont come off of the bung that goes into the turbo manifold...i attempted to use thread lock to try to get it to stay in but when I took the impact to it the whole thing came out again...any suggestions to get the nut off?

I had the same thing happen, the whole nipple came out of the manifold. I tried wrapping it in all sorts of rags and such and tightening it in vice grips, but I just ended up stripping the threads. So I went to Home Depot and got a 1/2" NPT (I think that's the size) plug for it cuz I couldn't find a replacement nipple anywhere..
So don't do what I did..
