Otherwise, somebody was talking about using the electric vacuum booster pump from a 940 or 960 on this forum no too long ago; you'll find it if you look around for it.

I have taken a liking to Electric vac pumps found on 2001 or newer Volvo P2 platforms. they are triggered by a vac pressure switch, which allows the pump to run when needed. MUCH better than stupid mechanical cam driven pump which is always in the way.

Thanks for the info Slobodan. What did you use as a blockoff plate and how did you seal it?
