Due to lack of materials i have found myself without any Blow off valve.I have replaced the stock piping between throttle body and intercooler with 63mm stainless.As i dont have time to wait for delivery of 32mm stainless i got stuck into it anyway.
I couldn't wait to take her for a blast and found that the performance increase was noticeable straight away. I was boosting quick and hitting just short of 1 bar. I have had a boost leak for sometime and was making nowhere near the boost i was supposed too,until now.
It wasn't long before i blew one of the joints due to lack grip on the pipe.
Other than turbo stalling is there any other issues i should be aware of until i can refit the bov.
Cheers Paul
