Wow, I think there's a whole career in what you did called 'tech writing' or something like that. My evap is still original so I'll use this some day... thanks a ton.

Awesome writeup, I am chugging through it currently. I have a turbo 850 with apparently enhanced sound system. I found I needed to take the top of the dash first to pull the vacuum line off the turbo gauge; it looked all but impossible with the top still on (with my limited knowledge).

The insulation/padding is falling apart, especially on the duct connections and wrapped around wire bundles. Does nayone have any advise on replacing it? Any good generic roll or strips that can be used?

Take care.

Chuck is well and has revived link....also posting file here as soon as I get off iPad

There is a paypal link for donations on the first page of this document. After you read a couple of pages, you will see why.

The writing, formatting, and attention to detail in this guide is top notch publication quality.
