mattross1313 Dimis - I went for these ones in the end, cheap enough, even after delivery charges

OK, mechanical question
I want to remove the recirc/BOV from the car. I've been told its easy enough to do. I assume there will be a pipe either side of the turbo with some gubbins attached? Once I remove these I will look to get get some plates fab'ed up to seal the deal. Has anyone done anything like this before? is that usually all that needs doing, or are there wires/ other stuff to concern myself over

couldn't tell you Oli. I don't think its a branded one as its part of the re-circ setup, not a dedicated BOV.......(I think).

For one reason.....the sound! Beats any BOV in my opinion.

what the sound of your turbo crying as its forced to stall instantly?
I wouldnt do it mate keep the BOV, its not good for the turbo

the sound is the turbo chopping the air thats being pushed through it backwards, that effectively stalls the turbo, not good for the bearings
