Blow off valve flange without a bov on it? A blow off valve goes on there to do some sort of pressure releasing PSHHH action. It looks like someone just blocked off the flange for it though.

I see... I have a HKS bov on the hotside but closer to the turbo.

Cut that flange off and get a silicone cap and a clamp. Or, cut out that section of pipe and add another coupling. This is a true noob question...

BTW, that isnt how my greddy intercooler piping is set up. That pipe was there but without the BOV flange on it.

Or make a better block off.

$0 worth of scrap steel plate, a hacksaw, and a drill. Why is this even a questioin?

Don't waste your time and money on more clamps and connectors, thats just asking for another leak location.

Just add another BOV. That will allow for twice the BOV Tuning.
