Or you can disconnect it completely and run an electric vacuum pump for the brakes.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm working on a custom procharger setup for my 996 c4s and need some help fixing a boost leak. See pic... any idea what this hose does? I did a boost leak test and air was pouring out of this connector. Should I add a check valve so only vacuum passes through before this connector? Thanks!
So yes, it definitely needs a check valve which is what OEMs do in boosted applications. Or you can disconnect it completely and run an electric vacuum pump for the brakes.
Awesome thanks so much for the quick help! I was maxing out at 5 psi no matter what i did...i was hoping to see more like 8 or 9. I'll get a check valve on there and let you know how it goes.
No internal changes done...we'll see how she holds up lol.
Thanks. I know I'm not going to make Porsche enthusiasts happy, and I sound ridiculous, but my main goal is to see if I can prove the later gen M96 to be a little stronger than everyone thinks. If that's not true, I'm using it as an excuse to tackle the LS swap 😁. AWD Porsche chasis with 600+ all motor hp feels like almost the perfect combo...just behind a 997 turbo. However, I don't drive it a lot, so my stretch goal is to be able to afford or find a steal 997 turbo before I do any damage on the M96.
Finally hitting the right boost...maxing at just over 10 lbs. It was a combo of that major boost leak and a bad choice of air filter material. Thanks again to the forum for help.
Will be getting a better intake solution and dynoing this summer for some real numbers.
