Cool car Michael, for some reason I thought you had a NA, not a turbo. Seems like your doing a lot of work to it too.

How does the BOV work Looks All Wrong to Me :shock:
Boosted cars are like hot women.
A little edgy, every guy wants one,
some guys can't handle them,
and if you throw a little alcohol in them they'll rock your world.

I think the blue hose has a third molded part that's smaller and the original plumb-back pipe fits over this.

I too was confused but the black pipe for the recirculation has a blanking plug on the end. It's just right up against the blue pipe making it look connected.

Exactly. Not my doing(previous owner), one day I'll go back to recirculating

Thanks. I prefer going fast rather than just looking fast :twisted: All this work happened over the last year and a half including the timing belt(NEVER AGAIN! until I need to do it again). The brakes took me the longest, I was so picky and sunk heaps of money because they stop me ploughing in to things. The shocks were also $$$, want to keep the rear tyres(especially) on the ground.
