HKS Blow off Valve - Vac pipes blocked. Ok to drive?

Hi everyone,

 

I have an Aristo Mk2 @ bpu++

Finally found some time to service it today which took way longer than it should of.

As we all know, plastic/rubber and constant heat cycles doesn't end well.

 

I was expecting replacing the coil clips would be the hardest part. In fact it was getting the spark plugs out, bits of plastic found their way into the plug channels stopping the tool of gripping the hex.

What should have taken me 1 hr tops took me about 3 hrs.

Top it off, I managed to break the vac pipe on the bov.

Also broke clip C on the middle coil.

 

I've screwed both sides shut but will need to drive it before I can get a new pipe on.

 

Will this cause any damage? Can I drive as normal?

Thanks!

Technically you can drive it yes.

 

Instead of it dumping to atmosphere it'll send the pressure back through the turbos. I have read many arguments around doing this on other cars, some say it's fine, some say it'll kill your turbo after time.

 

I would say as long as you're not driving it far i doubt you'd see any issues but get it fixed ASAP :)
