So whats the consensus on the vacuum block off plate? Searched around on here and found people going either way, including say manual was easier to do the mod on vs automatic, whether or not it actually does anything, etc. The one person I've actually talked to about it says it made a difference on his DSG swapped 2.5; "the brake vacuum pump on our cars steals power and leaks oil pretty often."
I've not had issues with my pump yet (AT '13 with just a muffler and resonator delete for performance), but it seems like it would be good preventative maintenance while also freeing up some power, no?
Looking to buy my next wave of parts for the car and this was on the list, till I started reading some opinions on it.
