I've even thought about just capping off the actuator nipples and just running the exhaust with valves closed for now and see how happy I am with that however it would be nice to have the option to turn them on.

I found this: https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Ex...s%2C181&sr=8-4

Thought about trying that and just return it if I dont like it, I can cut the cigarette adapter off and just hardwire the box to a 12v and ground.

For now, I ordered another OEM fuel breather hose (13907838439) since I wasnt able to find a ID of the hose online and will use that try and come up with a T fitting that uses the correct ID for each vacuum line and see how well that works. Figure if I have issues, I can swap the unmodified one back quickly and go from there. If I like the dedicated vacuum pump solution then I will switch over to that. Cars put away for winter here in the midwest so I got nothing but time.

Quickjack should be here this weekend I think, should hopefully be able to start on getting this installed.
The amazon vacuum box should work perfectly fine. This looks like the one that comes with the alibaba valved exhausts. I've been running mine for over a year and it's been working perfectly fine! It's definitely a lot easier than tapping into the plenum for vacuum imo. This is probably the route I'd go with when I switch over to the turner exhaust.

Also I have vacuum box located under the trunk in that little storage area. There's a rubber grommet/plug by the battery that will allow you to run the vacuum line from inside to outside easily. Just need to cut that plug and feed the vacuum line through.
