vacuumpipe should never be taken off. it compensates fuelpressure with the inlet boost/vacuum pressure. Standard 2wds run about 2.6bar tough i've seen a few with stage3 ahmed bayjoo chip (t34,greens,filter,exhaust,rs500cooler) with pressure adjusted to 3bar.

Standard fuel pressure is 3.5bar absolute. (Pipe disconnected)

Check that when you refit teh pipe with engine idling that the pressure drops, and that when you apply pressure to teh pipe the fuel pressure raises 1:1

Only the mapper can advise what presure the chip requires.
