Guest robinh Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi all! The stock bov is connected with 2 big hoses and one small vacuum hose. When istalling my after market bov from greddy i simply plugged the old bov vacuum hose and used it for the new bov. It seems to be working fine! Now for the question: The 2 big hoses is still connected to the old bov. Should i plugg them to and remove the old bov system all together or could i leave them connected but with the vacuum hose removed and plugged? (yes i have search and i couldent find an answer to this specific question.) Cheers from sweden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) The two big hoses need blanking off. The old BOV may well leak under boost otherwise. Edited March 26, 2012 by Chris Wilson (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robinh Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 The two big hoses need blanking off. The old BOV may well leak under boost otherwise. Ok i see! Any good suggestion how to plugg them? They are pretty big so a screw might be hard to find in that size. Thanks for the answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Nice way: Two proper rubber pipe caps. Red neck way: Two walking stick rubber tips (they'll soon rot, and they'll remind older members of a certain turbo company who "invented" this method....). Bulging eyed red neck way: Two pieces of wooden dowel / broom handle offcuts in the ends of the two original hoses. Best way: Remove original pipe stubs and turn up alloy plugs and Loctite into original pipe stub holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
