If you are removing the std valve and related return hoses, you will want to replace with an after market item in is place.

As you do require a By-pass/blow-off valve on turbo cars to prevent compressor surge...... to cut a long story short.. will cause damage, if not eventual failure of the turbo charger etc.

:uh-huh:

haha im not that retarded!

ive got a HKS SSQ one which is on an adapte plate on a return intercooler pipe

the std one is currently blocked with a coke bottle lid (dodgey but successful!) can i completely remove it??

take the BOV off, block off the hole with a plate cut to the right size and block off the hole in the pipe before the turbo with a proper plug. Er.. and biff all that other piping.

WHile you're at it, you could biff the charcoal canister and all the hoses and pipes associated with it and run a hose straight to the BOV from the manifold.

Sorry buddy. I didn't read the post properly.

I would remove the whole lot. All the plumb back hose right back to the Inlet of the turbo, blocking the hole with a welsch plug and a hose clamp to secure it in place.
