dmr Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) so i can get a dossing sound.. trust me bud, women dont like it. i know you're doing it for the ladiez and think they get nipple fats when they hear it, but really they think you have a small dingaling. but anyways back to the topic, the 2 pipes connected to the intake snorkel is your blow off valve return line and a crankcase breather (or blowby). i wouldnt go blocking off the breather but if you're not going to run a bov then you can block off the bov return line. OR. save yourself the headaches and potential turbo/engine damage and get a stainless steel intake pipe. you'll have mad flUttErZzZzz.

dmr Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) yea i was going to do that why not do it? 1. it's not designed to run in the cooler piping 2. wierd readings 2. the reading pin inside the air flow meter is a delicate object which you wouldn't want to damage at high boost levels.

DECIM8 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Technical info just in, sick dose sound does not come just from metal pipe.. tested and offically makes induction sound louder but not dose.. tightening the bov will tho.

QUICKY Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 mate this site is full of critics. if u want dose, than all the best with it. Whether they think its a wank factor or not, when a car doses everyones heads turn. and so what if they have no performance benefit, neither do bodykits or bigger wheels, yet most cars on this forum have one or the other, if not both Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220816-removing-whole-air-filter/#findComment-3896103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DECIM8 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Quicky has it on the head, damage wise shouldnt cause a problem on low boost but ive seen the vl guys running 20psi on there rb30s with no issues.. It does sound "off tap" Omar I looked everywhere for that Pink Unicorn... wtf is it?!

dmr Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Technical info just in, sick dose sound does not come just from metal pipe.. tested and offically makes induction sound louder but not dose.. tightening the bov will tho. you can tighten your stock bov by putting it under a vice grip and "crushing" the top of the bov a couple of millimeter. i would only advise this if you're doing it for bov leaking purposes. using a blanking plate is the same as tightening a bov enough for no air to pass through. stainless intake pipe will increase the sound of your "dose" because of the resonating sound traveling through. the standard rubber snorkel deadens it. have a read of THIS. he's apparently the master of "dosing". your new best friend. hope that helps!
