What Size Cork To Block Off ACV?
I am removing my air pump this weekend, and I was wondering what size cork to use to block off the hose to the ACV. Any help?

do yourself a favor and remove the acv altogether. get some metal from lowes that is pretty sturdy (~the thickness of a road sign) drill holes in it where the bolts for the acv are and paint it so it wont rust or corrode. if the bolts for the acv are too long you can get a nut that will fit on it, thread it on at a lower point on the screw and tighten it down.
the bolt thing is what i did to switch my s4 fuel rail to an s5

Well, I already bought the RB presilencer w/ the tube for the split air pipe, Soooo...If I remove the ACV, I will have a big stupid tube coming off my presilencer, as well as an exhaust leak!!!

In need the car running so I can get it to a shop to weld it shut. Anyone know the diameter of the hose? I guess I will just buy a ****-load of corks, and try em all!

It will too, I used to stick a big bolt in the tube to hold me over till I made a block-off plate.
Do it right, just buy a sheet of aluminum from Lowe's and make a block off plate. If you have a jigsaw it takes like 30 minutes total, including pulling the ACV off. Buy a couple small nuts and bolts and make a plate for the split air pipe too. Its a lot easier than it sounds.

Peer pressure sucks. Oh, wait, I don't have a jigsaw. Hmmm. I will pick up a ACV plate from k2rd, and try to find some metal to work for the presilencer.
