As far as the "Mod" goes. If you understand how the systems work you will realize how much luck is involved by having it work by just following the instructions in this thread about the "dynalast valve" .

The dynalast valve does not control anything about the "amount" of vacuum in this case. Using only the one port instead of both probably has more of an effect and points out even more about what is unknown by people following this blindly.
If mine continues with the results I've got I will probably put the stock CCV system back in it. No sense running a mod if it doesn't do anything.
