Hey guys, so I bought a new fs manifold that has both vtcs and vic removed. Also where the solenoids get connected, are tapped. The previous owner took it to a machine shop to get it closed. So I'm getting ready to instal but I'm questioning what do I do with the solenoids? Is it just removing them? I wanna make sure I do the job right... I have the mp3 ecu so vtcs won't even be read but how about the vic? Thanks again
 
Keep the solenoids plugged in and make sure all ports are capped. You'll probably want to keep vics if possible. Deleting it will show no gains until you're turboed. You'll just lose torque.
 
I can't plug solenoids in manifold, they are closed off. And vic are removed Il try transferring them over to the new manifold from my old oke

Just keep the solenoids plugged into the wiring harness. That way you wont get a cel. If the manifold is already closed off than you should be okay. If you can get vics back it would be good, but it doesn't really matter all that much.
