berzerker Donating Members 767 Member For: 17y 3m 16d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 31/01/10 08:00 AM Share Posted 31/01/10 08:00 AM Had my Plazmaman cold side piping on for a few weeks now, just wondering if this is the correct setup, or whether it should be blocked, and if so, is there a different sound, or is it best to leave it as it is now. If I block it up, is that whats referred to as plumb back?ORShould I purchase a bigger BOV than this? Am running 310rwkw@15psiCheers all!Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been using this BOV for years and use it on other cars such as VW's and Audi's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
