Eisenmann install question

I am going to install an Eisenmann race. For those that have one installed did yours come with a plug to seal the factory vacuum hose for the valve? I bought mine used so there were no other parts.

I bought the Eisenmann race brand new and I did not get the plugs.
I can tell you that you must seal the lines. I did not and I got a check engine light after two days or so.

No plugs but you must plug the hose, if you have a bit of an air leak you might not get a CEL but your rig will be sluggish

What do you plug the hose with? What size is the iD on the hose?
