Ok, can any of you kind people help? I have already tried to find the answer using the fantastic.....search facility, but no joy!

First question is-what does that open pipe do? Should it be 'bunged up' or has it slipped of of something?

Also i keep hearing of a pipe which if loose will give unlimited boost(see how that rhymed!) and ultimately send the engine straight to heaven..in lots of pieces.Can somebody post a piccy of said pipe?!

And last but not least-can anybody help in giving a name to the BOV? It has nothing written on it that i can see.Only around the face where it is stamped 'Blow off Valve' iirc.

Ok pictures.....

The pipe that will up the boost if disconnected is the one that runs from the wastegate actuator on the turbo up to the plenum :wink: It wont give unlimited boost, probably around 1.4 bar which would still be enough to kill your engine if you didnt notice it.

Only 1 more question to go now :lol:

Hmmm, you seem to not realise i am an turbo car numpty, and as such have no idea what a plenum or wastegate are!!

Well only a slight clue-any chance of a helpful picture or diagram? Or a link to and old picture?

Cheers for the help so far! :wink:

I have a feeling question three could take some time, i imagine there are loads of different Bov's and its hard to get a really good picture of it without removing it. A good reason to get a FMIC!! :twisted:

The BOV is an older style HKS SuperSequential ( a good one ). I've got the same one.

That 'hole' should have a screw in it, it looks like its missing ! You don't have a very fast idle do you, by any chance ?

HKS? Get in! :D

Idle is about 1000rpm which i guessed at being about 100rpm out? Not enough to sound 'wrong' anyway.

I will have a good look for the screw tomorrow :wink:

Too slow :roll: All questions answered already :(

I wouldn't worry about the screw in that pipe, I don't think you are meant to be able to see it from that angle. If you are meant to be able to see it, then mine is missing too :wink:
