Yeah, it is a nice cheap mod. Be careful to properly plug those vacuum lines or you will have a lot of performance loss. Be sure to seal it with RTV (any auto supply store carries it for about $5)around the plug and the joint between the plug and the line. Will form a perfect seal. Otherwise car drives like it is a non-turbo. Also, tuck the lines away where they will not be bouncing around when you drive so there is no risk of the plug coming out. RTV would likely prevent that anyway but just in case.

As you can see the valves are just simply held open with the wire. Very easy DIY mod.

Will it hurt to wire open the valves but leave the vacuum line connected so you don't have any seal issues?
