i made a block plat for the stock bov out of tin, and put the stock bov back on top of it..... took me 5 minutes all up?

Heya mate,

I just recently bought a turbo smart BOV 2 a aswell and i installed it last night. I asked the same question as you a week ago!

Go to forced induction and search for "door stopper" in the forum and everything you need to know should b there!

Ask me questions threw that forum.

Good Luck

didnt really help what would happen if I jsut leave the plumback there? would it be the same as a atm venting + plumb back bov? Also blocking the plumbback pipe with a bottle cap means that air will vent out of both places? I heard the stock plumbback tends to leak at high boost?

any comment?

Well the answer to your question is pretty much there dude. You have a PLUMBED BACK BOV and now you've installed an ATMOSPHERIC BOV, which of the 2 do you want? One just recirculates the air back thru the system while your new vents it out. Either have one or the other. No damage can be done to the car having both, but it just defeats the purpose of having an atmo bov on there now.

Like what was said a few posts up, if you can't get your hands on a block off plate for your stock bov, get a coke can, use the gasket off the stock bov trace around the can and cut it. Use that as a block plate and whack your stock bov back over it.
