The stock BOV is not design for this so I dont know the long term effects if any. BOV in this pic as its an aftermaket single port monza BOVyou will not get as loud a BOV vent compared to a manual as they tend to dump a lot more boost on gear change.

Shown on Seventy-twos picture as the hose to the left, this will stop the vaccume hose from hitting the firewall.If using the stock BOV all you need to do is go the the hardware shop and buy a rubber door stopper, remove the hose which vents the BOV back to the inlet and block this with the door stoper, this will allow the pressurised air to vent giving you the sound you required.PS Seventy-two I have not got around to sending you the plumb back fitting for the BOV as have been away but will do soon.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
