URGENT Intercooler Block Off ?
#1
Just to double check when fitting a VTA BOV I attach the BOV to pipe coming from the manifold and block off pipe from intercooler.
Thats how I have got it setup at the mo anyway.....?

You will be much better off changing the block in the pipe for something else, there is a chance that the original valve may leak ... as mine did..

That was a concern but the pressure should be pushing the plunger out and it was very tight as it is. I was using a piece of wood similar to a broom handle before, worked well but looked ***. Any ideas what to block with ?

Get a 2litre bottle of Sprite, drink it with lots of ice and Vodka
After youve had a little sleep, cut the threaded part of the sprite bottle off with a junior hacksaw, leave the lid on as it makes holding it a bit easier.
'Clean up' the lid with thread component that you should be left with and use that to 'plug' the original hose with, it is strong enough to accept a jubilee clip and very long lasting.
Hope that helps, MD.

I don't like Sprite, when I chopped the little blighters head off it get really messy.
I used a Dr Peppr top instead, try it for yourself - hey, what's the worst that could happen?
