The "Hose 10" Mod - BE/BH

[nickmcgill]

All nice and tidy!

I could just see that other T section you mentioned. I\'ll try have a closer look at it tonight.

[ODB]

Just got your 6.2mm hose and the bung from Repco mate?

What length of hose did you get?

Bung size?

Make my life easier when I do it this weekend lol

[ryn]

Cost me $9.40 for 1m of hose. They doesn\'t do any smaller than 1m here.

[Codex]

I went to repco northwood and they couldn\'t find any vacuum of that size, ended up going to super cheap and then to butler, butlers is so much better lol

Mine was about the same price, I\'ve only used half if someone else in Chch wants some

The bung I used was a spare one I had from a water garden irrigation system.

Sweet I has started a revolution again ;D

Yet again

I\'m still a bit dubious about it but performance gains are great.

[nickmcgill]

So I got around to getting a gauge on today.

Running between 10-12psi on the primary and about 16-18 on both.

Not sure if this is too much though ?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Nah that looks totally normal

[soobie spinner]

Just did mine and man what a difference ;D! pushed me back in my seat like never before haha. I did the same and used tape for the moment, but will out a full length hose in later. the hose that comes off the T join that we block off, do i just block it and tuck it out of the way?

[Divine]

This is madness, why doesn\'t everyone does this?

I have a Rev D so I guess no more whooshy noises for me than what I already have.

[Marky]

This is not madness

In other news yes I don\'t see any reason not to do it. Like I said, the first time I looked I genuinely thought it was something some munter had done to the car, not how it came out of the box.

Soobie spinner - yeah pretty much, don\'t leave it open to vent. Just block it it / remove it outright (you can plug hose 10 right onto the inlet pipe, removing the little plastic T)

Will this mod work on a BG/BD twin turbo system?

We don\'t have a t connector from the bov to the intake so no.

The second gen turbo system is fairly different in hose layout (trust me, rebuilt my black box recently, although someone had done a delete on a solenoid in it so perhaps it\'s similar)

Wooooooow!!! I just did this mod today and what a difference! Not only is it a huge increase in power but it idles smoother. No hunting at all.

Have to agree with this statement. :D LMAO!.... Ka BOOM. or is that CarBoom!

[ODB]

Tried this tonight.

Bottom part of the hose wouldnt come off was on tighter than a scotsman at a bar!

Was a bit worried id snap something so grouched off back to the couch

[Marky]

Without trying to sound like an idiot, can you please explain how removing a pipe from the blow off valve vacuum hose is going to blow motors

[Marky]

And it\'s one people have been doing for years on these cars, one car seems to have a low idle, the remainder are all reporting much nicer cars to drive. I could have copy/pasted a guide someone did on here 2 or 3 years ago, or a dozen other places online.

Thanks for the productive advice mr mathers

[scoobygt]

maybe a silly question but do you block off hose number 10 that comes out of passengers guard?

[Marky]

No

The one and only thing you do is block that hose which is teed off from the BOV vacuum hose

The one from the inner guard is the vent to atmosphere for your boost control solenoid - block that and you will have wastegate pressure as it won\'t be able to vent anything

[scoobygt]

alright got it, you seem to be quite the wizz on these cars.

[Marky]

I\'m not, haha. I just read a lot and pass on anything not here already

[DacerX]

i just read your signiture marky, dam funny
