Hi guys, I have 2 BOV/'s in the car with the stock recircs still connected....the BOV are on the intake pipes. The car is goose honking and pissing me off how cani disconnect these?? and what do i do with with hoses when i take them off the recircs just block all three of them up??
Not good for the turbo's.. as they will have to slow down quickly due to back pressure. I too have goose honk and it only started after I installed a pod airfliter. You have two safe options, reinstall a stock airbox, or install aftermarket BOV's.
if you have aftermarket bov's, can you adjust them to a harder setting? or you could remove the recuirc part and block up the hole.
I removed mine... I went to clarks rubber, bought some orange rubber bungs. took off recircs, rammed in the rubber bungs into the 4 pipes, tightened the hose clamps round them. THAT'S HOW ITS DONE!!!
I have aftermarkets to Ok he is right i have the aftermarkets plus the recircs on. So your telling me i should take the vacuum line off the recircs and plug that one up only and leave the other ones on the recircs. Do i leave the vacuum line connected to the top of my BOV's i have at the moment?
harder setting Yes i can adjust them to a harder setting and you cannot hear shit when you adjust them firmer
take off vac lines to stock recircs mine had 'Y' peices in there, so just disconnected recircs and put vac straight onto BOV. you got BLitz?
ARC BOV No i have ARC BoV..... there is already a small hose goin to the BOV it is not the one from the recircs though. Should i disconnect that one and use the one from the recircs. Which hoses must i diconnect from the Recircs just the vac or all of them?? if all of them just plug em up??] thanksw
As i said in my previous post.... RUBBER BUNGS! in the pipes where the stock recircs go. Take off vac lines to recircs, have vac line only going to BOV's. That is all.
for anyone interested, the plugs from clark rubber you need are two 30mm, and two 35mm. They seem to fit pretty well
Anyone got pics? Anyone have pics of their blocked off re-circs and BOV setup? I've got hoses allover the place with the BOVs and factory recircs still in there, and I'd like to get it cleaned up as well. :zlove:
My BOVs are mounted down low where the original recircs were, so only need to block off two pipes. Sorry no pics. I did remove the short elbow hoses on both sides of the recircs and replaced with a short straight one to the BOV (I think!) Capped off the spigot off the air pipe with something that looks suspiciously like the rubber boot off a stool (yep, picked up at local hardware). Been on there almost 2 years and still working well.
