Replace check valves with Viton check valves. Also, take the time to check the 12 solenoids end nipples to make sure they are not brittle. Press on them. If they break, then replace. The 7 or 8 that appear similar are acutally mechanically and pneumatically identical.

In addition, if you are going to be staying with the sequential system and want to maintain a 10-8-10 boost pattern (assuming your FD is in well running order). Do not forget to remove the 'restrictor pills' in your "wastegate" and "precontrol" actuator lines and insert them into your new hoses. It is a good idea to replace one hose at a time.

Good luck with the "rats nest". One weekend is all you need to complete this job.
