Stock Air intake question

[IowaSilvia_S13]

Hey. I just got done putting on my Blitz FMIC and hooked up all the hoses. I have the air cleaner on and connected to the stock intake hose that goes to the turbo. On the bottom side of the intake tube there is a hole for a hose that went to the stock BOV. Do you guys leave this open or plug it? What should i do? Also i was wanting to plug the turbo extention that goes to the down pipe. The unit that is by the valve cover can be taken off? What do u do with the sensors and vacuum stuff that it is all plugged into. Lemme know so i can button this thing up. All I have to do is make a flange for my Blitz BOV. Weld it on and go. I hope. I hope.. I hope. I did a lot of stuff to my baby.. Makes me wonder if it will start.. Keep my fingers crossed i guess.

The opening for the stock BOV on the intake pipe needs to be plugged. I put a freeze plug and hose clamp in mine. And I think you're talking about the AIV stuff that goes into the O2 pipe. Heavythrottle sells a plug for it, or you can just cut that metal hose coming out of it and pinch/weld it shut. As far as the other stuff on the valve cover, you can take it off if you really want to, but the black box is an oil catch can. If you have an aftermarket exhaust manifold, it usually won't clear it, but it works just fine with the stock manni. Let us know how it runs!

ok.. i plugged the o2 pipe with 2 nickels and tightened it down good. I took the AIV stuff out and plugged the hole from one of the sensors on the wheel well.. I'll have to get a plug and cap the intake hose hole then . thanks

I used a (1 gallon) milk jug top, but something like a powerade bottle cap should work too.
