For LS2 engines the vacuum connection is on the front of the intake manifold and is easly accessed.

Hey, thanks for the help. Those two links were just what I needed. I feel confident the task can be completed once I start. I was just worried that I would get half way through then, run into a problem that I could not solve at home. I may be just over thinking it. - When I decide to do a new mod, that's all I can think about till it's done.

How long did it take to remove the intake and bolt back? That was my next step and I figured probably about 4 hours. Please tell me it is simple!!

Thanks. I added an NPP system to my 06 A6 a year and a half ago. Below is the link to my install if you are looking for more info on what to plan for.

Thanks, Dave O. Your install link was helpful. I usually put the car on jack stands at about 17". I wasn't sure that was going to high enough. You said you did yours at about 15", so I should be ok.

You can use the homelink. I have mine programmed to open and close the valves. You have to use one button on the homelink for each (open & close) ...works like a charm.......
