Looking for a plate to blank the BOV on my rev 1 turbo!
Does anyone know where I can get one?
I dont want to start another debate about having a BOV either
Cheers!

Never seen one for sale.
Probably because it'll be easy to make one.

Would it not have to be secured in? Or could I just use a rubber insert or something?

I reckon it would be easier to make a new hard pipe? At least that's what I would do

He's probably aware of the better performance to be gained when fast shifting.
Plus makes a cool noise

Planning to remove the bov as well for upcomming season.
I have rebuilt engine and fully rebuilt CT20.
I am just afraid that the turbo will fail very fast.
Is it true or can I remove the bov and don't be afraid?

There will be people arguing either side of removing and not, just got to make your own mind up!

If you have a budget for a new turbo i say go for it.
if you are going to cry at the roadside if it blows up, then dont do it.

I just cut the end off a broom and stuck that in the pipe.
Done about 7k without issue.
