Justin Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 See pic...... Do I just block it off? Or should I re-route and 'T' it into somewhere? PS - I already have a Blitz BOV installed and working on the other side in the intake. Cheers Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 can you run safely without the stock bov on stock boost levels?? i presume you'd get loads of pidgeon type noises and wastegate chatter with the bov removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 I'm not running stock boost I'm running 1.5 bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I'm not running stock boost I'm running 1.5 bar Is that on stock tubbies? I think standard practice is to block it off. Some people have found that walking stick ends from fit nicely. I presume you'd get loads of pidgeon type noises and wastegate chatter with the bov removed? I get a pidgeon/owl type noise, which I am assuming is the stock BOV opening slightly on low (and decreasing) boost, particulaly when going uphill holding boost at 0.2Bar. Anyone else get this, cos it's not a good sound to be emitting from the car! - sorry, bit of a highjack there J EDIT: picture finally downloaded. Are you only going to block off the blue vacuum hose? I thought you needed to completely remove the stock BOV, block off the two larger hose connections and re-route the vac hose to the new BOV?

Alex Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Just blank it off...either with a cap or tie tag the hose in half to nip it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you needed to completely remove the stock BOV, block off the two larger hose connections and re-route the vac hose to the new BOV? I'm running Hybrids, FMIC, 550 inj, SAFC, Blitz ECU, ERL Water etc etc J Sorry I missed out some vital info. This picture is of my old written off Supe which had a stock BOV. I am now sorting out bits on my current Supe. My current Supe has no stock BOV and the two large black hoses are blocked off fine. There is a Blitz BOV on my hardpipe. I am just talking about the small vac hose here. On my current Supe the hose I have indicated was connected directly to a boost guage. I have just installed a Defi gauge and want to 't' the new vacuum sensor into the area that is just off the intake manifold. Hence I have a spare vac hose. Well did - I just put a bolt and tie wrap round it. My question was geared around - Is it safe just to block the small vac hose (coloured blue on the pic) off?

Alex Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Just blocking it off is fine. Weld it shut if you never intend to use it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 if you've got an induction kit you'll hear pidgeon noises through the induction kit, the standard air box reduces induction noise and other noise... the 'pidgeon' is nothing to worry about its wastegate chatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Justin: I understand now. Haydn: OK, cheers for that. Didn't think it was too much to worry about J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
