    the vac line on the bov is there for a reason... if u guys want "cooler dose" in vl's term, or flutter, then block the inlet of the bov, not just taking the vac line off which may cause boost leaking through the bov as the spring alone not enough to hold the psi.
    skyline's ceramic turbo are fragile, there for die much easier than conventional steel blade. normal turbo can take a fair bit of punishment b4 wearing out center bearing. Plumback bov help throttle respond in most case, but the fluter noise sound nice so go figure...

    Question

    Why disconnect it?

    Its there for a Reason?

    to Take the Backlog of air pressure when the TB Butterfly Suddenly shuts.. (backing up to the turbo causing resistance there fore unnecessarily slowing down the turbine (probably not so noticeable on a car that that a thimble sized turbo charger i know i used to have one)

    The other reason that the Blow off valve is plumbed back in to the intake.. most of you guys will realise that your cars have those pain in the arse Sensors at the start of the intake Tract!

    that measures how much air has passed thru it right?

    Now for egsample if the Car measures 5 litres of Air pass thru that sensor, it goes ok with my super advanced fueling abilitys.. i need x amount of fuel for the 5 litres of air that has come in.. if you eject say a litre or 2 of that air upon throttle off before it has a chance to visit the combustion chamber.. the car is still expecting it.. (yes it will be there because the turbo will serve out the next lot of air blah blah blah.. but its not the logic the computers always think with..

    this is why if you vent to atmosphere most of the time the CEL is thrown!

    but still nice looking engine bay.. get some Samco hoses in that bad boy..

    however.. one more critisisim..

    check out www.evoms.com.. have a look at their V-flo intakes..

    a pod filter under the hood is all very well inhaling hot air from around the engine bay defeats the purpose of the intercooler.. the car has to work twice as hard..

    the V-flow intake is heat sheilded and has a venturi to create an acceleration effect on the air being inducted.... it will sound good too.. oh and i forgot its heat sheilded..

    here is a pic of the mkIV one it should fit a mkV polo GTI http://www.evoms.com/Pictures/ProdIm...7600E4B%7D.jpg

    I run a EVO MS Long Ram intake.. i just run the risk of Hydrolock if i run over a puddle as my airfilter is down by the ground.. it sounds effing good thou...
