Stock turbo recirc valve plug

Hey guys,

I've gone to a Tial BOV on my Greddy elbow, and I'm just curious what people have done to plug the hole on the turbo manifold from the stock recirculation valve.

Will it be tight enough to stay in under boost?

^ Go to the hardware store and ask them for the little rubber "cup" that people put over the feet of chairs to protect their floors. They come in different sizes. And use a clamp to hold it on.

if you get the right size cork you will have to bang the crap out of it to fit it in there. it definitely will not leak under boost.

the proper thing to do would be to take the Y pipe sections to a shop that can weld them up. should only cost a few bucks if you have the parts already off the car and ready to go.

like so:





do it right the first time and never worry about it again.
