Yeah take it off and block off that little hole.

And to make it hold even more, "adjust" up the spring tension by crushing the top of the bov in a vice. too crush it even more, tap in the top too a rounded bowl shape. It'll be super tight now, and will be able too hold your desired boost.

This is the hole to block. Use a screw/tape/hot glue/whatever.

It can be crushed to about this height. It'll collapse in it's proper order, just let the vice do its work.

Tap it on the top and round it inwards for even more tension.

You may experience flutter under certain conditions. Usually only under light throttle back offs when under boost.

I just crushed it till I felt it stop. I don't know if you can get solder to stick to cast. I used some tape folded over a couple of times.

You'll feel it when it can't crush anymore. The nipple will touch or bottom out and may bend a little.

im gonna try n find something to block the hole off now and use my uncles vice tomorow and put it all back together. is there any downside to this or should i be all good?

Just make sure whatever you use isn't going to get sucked/pushed through.

Use a piece of wood with the vice to crush it.

You can use a ball pein hammer or a hammer and shifter to round the top in.

The only negatives could be the flutter that everyone argue's about. It only happens when you back off the throttle lightly when under boost. Gear changes and sudden back offs it functions normally.

It flutters under that condition because of the tighter spring tension, and the vacuum isn't able to pull the diaphragm up. Any aftermarket BOV does pretty much the same thing anyway.

i tried the fan case screw. the actual thread is not tight in the hole but the head of the screw fits perfect. what i dont was put teflon around the screw and put thread locker just underneath the head of the screw. if that dosent work il try somthing else

I've came across a few different sized case fan screws.

These are the type I used - http://www.pccasegear.com/category83_1.htm

Unsure if they are identical to the ones I have but thats what they look like.

They were very difficult to screw in as it was very tight they were also super tight when screwing in to a computer case fan.

    • 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?
