So where exactly do I plug the line ? on top of the switch over valve or at the intake manifold or at the ALDA ?
Thanks

You can remove all the boost pressure lines and then just plug the vacuum line that used to go into the ALDA.
Plug the port on the manifold or use it for your boost gauge...
I removed mine two years ago and I love it. I still get 27-29mpg and I just checked my acceleration the other day using a "G-Tech" application on my Palm Pre. 0-60 in 11.4 seconds! Granted I only did one at that time, but I was impressed
