need your help with intake pipe!!

[dAVE]

Well, my hks BOV is basically staying open, which means my car is a shit to drive... just one massive boost leak.

As you can see from pic, its not on factory position, but in front intake piping (from IC to cross over pipe).

I have ordered a new BOV, but wont be here for a few weeks... does anyone have a stock bit of piping I can borrow?? or even an old bov that will fit into the current pos.

thanks

dave!!

pic for those that dont know what im talking about..

[dAVE]

surely someone with a FMIC must have one... only need it for a week or 2.

[sniffy]

sorry i dont have 1, but just wondering why it is staying open? does it just need some lube, like WD40? or is it more of a permanent problem?

[DJ_L3ThAL]

just sold mine, but bro just get a piece of sheet metal and block the BOV's port, that will stop it driving shit and give that nice flutter noise

[dAVE]

um, no idea why it stays open, but its not shutting now.. i attacked with a hammer and screw driver

DJ - i did that with some really thick plastic I got... only thing is its too damn hard to cut a perfect circle with something so thick, so its still leaking a lil bit.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

not plastic lol, sheet metal !!easy to cut n shape and its strong as.. i got my stock BOPV blocked with the stuff so it looks like my stoock BOV is still working but really itrs blocked

[dAVE]

yeh, thats how my stock BOV is... um, no scrap sheet metal lying around here... hmm, will have to keep thinking.

btw, this plastic is really strong

[DJ_L3ThAL]

yer but plastic moves.. sheet metal wont.. 'trust me i do engineering'... hehe i always wanted to say that.. in all honestly dont trust me LOL i sleep in most of my lectures...

[dAVE]

ok, so wants to send me some sheetmetal then.. haha

[DJ_L3ThAL]

lol go to bunnings bro

[aybee]

i doesnt have to be cut perfectly. just cut a square, mark on it where to drill, then use the gasket to make it seal well. could even to use heaps of exhaust cement. thats basically what i did to block off my external gate to get rwc and rego.

lol i remmber when i wanted bunnings sheet metal to my pod shield

but it only came in a large 10 dollar sheet.

too pov to pay that much, so i asked the guy... is there anyway i can buy half of this?

so he punched it in the middle a bit and goes... its damaged now... 5 bucks only.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

hahaha... i remember the days at dimmeys when if i was hungry and they had blocks of cadbury chocolates i'd open them and tell the manager i was writing up some damaged stock, they then let us eat the damaged stuff
