Can someone post a pic or link me to a DIY on how to remove/bypass the vacuum lines going to the 3/2 valves and black box on top of the valve cover? I've read a couple posts on people who have done it but I'm still a bit confused.

I want to completely eliminate this thing, and pictures would definitely help.

Car is an 83 300D with (of course) the OM617

Thanks

I would also like to have some input on this, I eliminated but car seems to have a sluggish turbo. Not sure if related as I didn't drive the car before I did it. Also going between drive and reverse is pretty rough

3 vacuum lines 5 holes, help or picture please
