Do yous guys think that a dab of JB weld would be ok to use to seal up a boost leak on the AFM? The little nipple that sticks straight up is broken off on mine, and I'd kinda like to plug that up.

What would you suggest I do? JB weld or something else? Tape maybe? That's not gonna hold too well.. what should I do?

 

I don't think there is a nipple on the air flow meter. Is there a chance you meant the acv, the air control valve????

 

yeah my bad.. the ACV.. Should I JB Weld it up? Or what should I do to prevent this from spewing (and sucking) air?

 

The one that sticks straight up on the acv, on a turbo car, is to a diaphram. There should be nothing coming from this nipple. When everything is connected and working, there is a vac hose going TO it. That hose pulls a vacuum ON the nipple sticking straight up. So just put a dust cap on it or get a short piece of vac hose and put some rtv in one end, let it set up and put the other end on the nipple. If you insist on pluging it, I'd use a touch of rtv. Just a touch so you can ressurect it someday.
