Could anybody please tell me why this pipe is blocked off and what it was originaly for??

 

probably a boost gauge mate

 

That is what i thought but my Boost gauge take off is from the manifold.
I don`t think it is anything important as car runs fine but i would like to know what the previous owner has done something like this for.
It used to be a track car in japan suposedly and had some weird gadgets on it when i got it.

 

if that is blanked of them you must have a boost controller

 

no boost controler on the car m8 ???

 

That blocked off pipe should run to your air inlet manifold. On top of your manifold and it's the centre pipe where it should fit too. Not too sure what it does TBH but that's where it should go to
Just noticed it's on a Y piece....if the other pipe goes to your manifold then don't worry about the other blocked off pipe. Maybe there was a boost controller fitted and it's been removed at some point before sale.

 

gone to have a look what is there now m8

 

do you have an apexi fitted ?

some ecu's don't need them.

 

top man
that centre pipe off the manifold is split with another t piece one to the boost gauge and the other running to the bottom of the t piece in the picture. Now i know i am going to get rid of that t piece. Cheers m8

 

No probs scoobs 4 life. Glad I could help, Gareth
