So there are votes for both sides. If it is possible to help with Off Idle
Bog (which is one of the reasons I am doing this) should I try and
constrict it? It seems I could easily enough pull the FLAPS tee and throw
some JB weld on the end and drill it out.

And if so in reading through this there are 2 constrictors


   -  "T" from the vacuum line off of the Throttle Body to the valve on the
   charcoal canister = .06mm (described as 1.5 the thickness of a post it
   note...wow!)
   - "Y" from the line off the passenger side of the Plenum on the smaller
   3.5 branch that goes to the Charcoal canister = 1.4mm or roughly a 1/16
   drill bit.


I haven't contacted my local VW dealer but they are usually pretty arrogant
when it comes to anything built prior to 2K and all my online research
leads to NLA.
Thoughts on should I or ways to do this? David you mentioned a greased wire
with JB weld...that sounds doable.
