Removing Stock BOV: How to block off return pipe?

[ix9]

Okay,

I've removed the stock blow off valve and bolted a metal plate I cut out to size over the intake pipe....

Now, I've gotta block off the return air pipe that's now open. How do you do it ? what did you use to do it?

Im afraid my bodgy solution failed and now my car keeps stalling.. grrr! (coz it's open of course)

a bottle cap fits perfect in the return pipe

I used an old film-roll cannister first.... that seemed to have "dissappeared" WHOOPS!

Wonder where it went/what damage it caused

[rev210]

a large bolt is good to block things, secured with a hose clamp.

that'd be one large bolt eh ? daym!

Leave the metal plate (that you've made) there, and just bolt the stock BOV back upto it. Unless your putting the new BOV in the same place.

I got a mounting kit with my BOV that came with a giant rubber stopper and an hose clamp. Try looking around some chairs in the office and pilfer one off a leg (try to make it the bosses chair).

Ive found a trip to bunnings usually finds a solution.

Is there a possibility to mount an aftermarket BOV in the stock BOV location?

Yepp, some types come with an adaptor so you can bolt it up into the same location.

But your looking at a further $60 or so

yeah u just need the adapter pipe

your aftermarket BOV should have a plug

i started off using a C battery, hehehe

then changed over with some grommets i found

[whistla]

why dont u just get a new intake pipe to the turbo

i just got my workshop to fabricate a new metal intake pipe...problem solved and "pipe sqwish" solved

In the famous wrods of GUIDO HATZIS...

"There is nothing that duct tape can not fix"

I used electrical tape when I had my external venting bov on.

Just tape over it a couple of times and it's fine.

I'de go for the new intake pipe idea

[luckster]

try an arc bov

bolts straight on and return pipe connects to it (even tho its blocked off) i ran one for a while....but i hate the stalling you get with atmospheric so i put the stock one back on.........

I blocked mine off with a large round piece of wood which I sprayed black and clamped it into the hose, and finished the hose with black silicon looks like it ment to be there! :D
