The only place ive seen that has an aftermarket metal intake pipe (metal is meant to make the flutter echo and sound better) is on the nengun website Apexi have a full intake kit for the r33gtst and possibly 32 but im not to sure.

Only prob is its like $300 but it does include everything you need and the pod filter too

While on the bov question. My car I just bought has 2 bov's in place :P as seen below:

I want to remove the aftermarket one, so I bought a new stock cooler return pipe (black pipe). I was going to replace it today, but then noticed that the vaccum line has be re-routed to the aftermarket bov, and the stock bov has the pipe where the vaccum attached removed/blocked with a screw!!

SO, can I replace the cooler pipe to remove the aftermarket BOV and just block the hose from the manifold?

How does it affect the operation of the factory BOV if it doesn't have a vaccum/boost reference?

If you dont block this hose, does this not cause a boost/manifold leak?

Cheers for the help

You would want to use the stock bov if you dont have an aftermarket ecu of some sort because the stock ecu has been programmed to run with a plumb back bov so not having one will make your car run richer at certain times (ie gear changes) just run the vac source back to the stockie bov

and yes if you didnt block the boost/vac source it would cause a leek

Sambo33, it sounds so much better with the plate there :P. I'm going to get the intake pipe this week hopefully, otherwise might just pm shy180, how much did people on here pay for just that pipe usually?

yeah i blocked it off this morning, lots of chatter now! haha. i took it for a quick drive and everything works fine, no stalling ect. i couldnt really open up the throttle too much (being in the city and all) but i think it feels a bit more responsive than before.

i cant remember what i paid for the intake pipe, ill try and find out.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
