Heres a pic of how i have blanked off the dump valve (ive left the dump valve in place in case of any problems) so this is how i blanked it







My next question is, do i need to blank off the vaccuum line going to the dumpvalve or can i leave it as it is, i know the vaccuum will still be operating the hks but since it has no boost juice going to it, no problems ?!?!?!?!?





cheers

I would still block the vacuum off to the bov for piece of mind but I get what your trying to do.

On another note, how do you change your oil filter without making a mess genuine question by the way is it fixed where it is or is it moveable come service time?

I was wondering the same, and what's the reason for having it there?

Regarding the oil filter, i put a rag around the housing and there isnt much mess,you just need to be quick, but as long as the rag catches most the spillage, all is good.

Reason its there, the oil filter gets uber hot next to the manifold in its original position, so the oil filter has been relocated to behind the headlight to help keep it a bit cooler, wether it does, who knows LOL

Never like the filter mounted upright. Despite there being a drain-back diaphram in the filter (be sure to use one that has as there are some filters available for the Impreza that don't have one fitted as the filter normally hangs down and therefore doesn't drain) oil will eventually drain out of the filter and will need to be filled again by the pump before reaching the bearings.
The filter will not get hot if you simply wrap the manifold adjacent to it with exhaust wrap - job done!

Fair play to that

I knew people relocated them just never seen one sat like that before that's all, hence the question

Plug the feed from the manifold.

Why didn't you just bung it at the Samco?

that silver tube going into the samco took ages to grip years ago, so didnt want to remove it, so blanked it at the other end of the tube, but its all pointless now as you may read in the other thread, ive learnt you need to have a cone filter and better a FMIC to get the flutter noise so since i dont have either, the HKS back on it is LOL
