I will remove the BOV eventually just want to see what it sounds like in the meantime. Shane

Posted 12/08/12 02:48 AM Posted 12/08/12 02:48 AM (edited) Because the spring inside the blow off valve that holds it closed... Won't be able to hold it closed without vacuum/pressure assisting it Edited 12/08/12 02:49 AM by jbrnr21 1

Posted 12/08/12 02:53 AM Posted 12/08/12 02:53 AM If its a temporary thing just get 2 inch's of 3/4 round bar, remove blow off valve, replace with bar, block off vac line. Hey presto...My standard blow off collapsed or something and I needed to get to work... Don't leave it for too long, do it properly

Coke bottle tops fit over the outlets on the crossover. Although the ridges need to be removed. Then place clamps over the bottle tops. Easier enough to block / unblock .Cheers
