R60 Vacuum Pump Delete
I've found a number of threads on guys deleting the pumps on R56 minis. None of guys doing it on R60 / N18..
Anyone done it or tried.. I'm thinking about tying into my assumed low vacuum / controlability issue on ours tonight and thinking if the pump is weak it will get deleted and replaced with a vacuum can / check valves..
Anyone want to try and talk me out of it..

I'm not understanding your post about assumed low vacuum..... Have you bought a cheap vacuum test gauge from a parts store and tee-d into a line to see what you actually have from your car?

I agree.. In this case however I think it was a design to make the controls / vacuum source the same across the range of engines..
There are several folks who have had success doing this on R56 cars.. which are very similar in design / operation.
I pulled my car apart and as I figured was met with a number of vacuum related issues..
Hoses all swelled.. leaks on every one.. oil in the system.. the entire storage tank is full of oil and I mean FULL..
So I am going to be using an existing port on the intake and running a storage tank in the cowl.. I am going to use good check valves and probably switch back to an OEM BPV to try and simplify the engine compartment a bit for my own taste..
