    Default Brake booster vacuum (1GZ conversion)

    I'm in the middle of plumbing up my 1gz conversion and i'v come to the brake booster vacuum supply. The 1gz runs 2 supply's. One from each bank of cylinders. The century brake booster also has 2 outlets. Where as in most cars and my jzx90 the booster only has one outlet. Whats the best way around this ie: only connect one up and cap the other one or would I need to join the two and put in some one way valve's.

    I would think connecting up only one bank could affect the way the engine runs.

    won't affect the motor unless there is some kind of vacuum leak at the booster.

    Both manifolds connected to a T piece or similar then 1 way valve then booster seems to me to be the logical way to do this. Well the way most mechanics would do it, I'd be inclined to err on the side of caution and run a 1 way valve in each manifold line then T piece then booster. Ultimately you should run this by your engineer as he will be the one with the final say

    To be sure I put a valve each side of the T in the middle.
