Broke vacuum inlet on BVP
 

So doing something stupid :chairshot: the plastic inlet on stock BVP broke off. I have a new BVP coming in 2 days.

Is it okay to drive the car with no vacuum to the BVP or am I without a car for 2 days ?

It's not needed just there to make cool sounds. Carry on...................

I would not drive a car without a functional bpv, hello compressor surge


Edit the stock type are push valves not pull.

Yeah Issue is I am stuck at work 20 miles form home. Wondering if it would be fine to drive it home if I stay out of boost.

JB weld for the win

Love working in the office full of gear heads
was able to source quick set jb weld and a male to male vacuum connector

Thanks,

P.S. placed an order with you guys form a Turbosmart BPV this morning :147:

Even with the "fix" stay out of boost best you can and drive as little as possible.

Yeah gonna stay of boost for next 2 days teal the Turbosmart comes in.

Came out pretty decent for ghetto rigging.

that actually looks pretty good :)

Just for future reference, you must have that vacuum line attached no matter what. Do not attempt to drive the car without it.

Ouch I might have driven 30 miles before i found out it was disconnected. How bad of an issue is it.

I know the car threw a P0171 code and cut the boost to safe mode. But I did not discover the broken vacuum line till i got to the office :sad:

As long as you stayed out of boost, you should be okay.

As stated earlier, you'll get really bad compressor surge if that line is not connected.
