PSD intake question...

[jvencius]

In the air intake to my PSD (2K2), there is a green wire/hose plugged into the intake just upstream of the turbo. What does that line do and how do I remove it so that I can take that piece of the intake duct out of the truck? I'm asking 'cuz right near there is where the CCV normally dumped but since my CCV is relocated, I'd like to carve that rather-large obstruction in the airflow but don't want to do it with the tubing installed in the truck since debris could pass un-filtered into the turbo and that's not a good thing.

I think you are talking about the green tube that comes from the wastegate solenoid. It's a fresh air source for the solenoid I think. You just pull it out of the intake tube. You could replace the CCV piece with a piece of 4" exhaust tubing, I had some left over from my MBRP system.

Hmmmm--that's an idea. I didn't have enough left over when I installed my MBRP kit, but if I were able to make one continuous piece of tube from the filter to the turbo, I could probably get some good smooth airflow. How would I replace that green tube--just drill a hole in the pipe?

I just replaced the section where the CCV was originally. I don't know how you would make the step down in size at the turbo and get the right angle with your idea. As for the tube, drill and silicone it in I guess.
