shano93 Member 12 Member For: 12y 6m 8d Gender: Male Location: perth WA Posted 12/08/12 01:58 AM Share Posted 12/08/12 01:58 AM Ive read endless amounts of posts about this can anyone tell me if I can block the small vacuum line from my BOV and leave the rest as it is? or do I have to block it off all together? I will remove the BOV eventually just want to see what it sounds like in the meantime. Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 12/08/12 02:48 AM Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 12/08/12 02:53 AM Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
