It runs, it runs great in fact. THe problem with the BOV is that it is off the stock TD motor so it only allows about 10psi before it pops. I would like to be able to take advantage of the 15psi the charger is making with the stock pulley. After I get some new injectors and also want to upgrade to a 18psi pulley, but if the BOV will only allow 10psi then that would be a waste.

There's a few ways to disable it... I know this is the 3rd time in 2 days I've typed this, but you can always just block off the hose coming off of it. I used a chunk of broomstick in my hose. Has been seeing 15 PSI daily for about a year now give or take without any issue.
You can also futz with the BOV itself and make it not open...
Or you can get (I think) an Eco-Diesel intake which doesn't have the BOV...
AAZ / TDI intakes don't have the BOV either but they have different shaped ports I think...

it is true that there is only a few hours left before the motor breaths fire, but it is in a buddies shop, and I can only work on it when it is convenient for him.
which means that I can only work on it on weekends.

Problem is, the intake was cut and welded to fit the charger. If there was a block off plate I could buy to just clamp it shut that would be better. I would rather remove the BOV instead of modify it.

its so easy to make it not work, i unscrewed the adjustment screw in the middle, removed the spring and put a dall rod in that was about 1 inch long and tightened the screw back in, you could use a bolt, or any solid object that is the right length, maybe a rock haha.

Would it be possible to remove the internals and just screw the cap back on? I have never seen the inside of a BOV lol.

Nevermind, then it would be stuck open...I guess I will pull it off in a few days and see what I can fit in there.

If it was cut and welded to fit the charger, why not remove the BOV and then weld up the hole? seems pretty logical and gives a cleaner look then plugging it with the end of a broom handle or etc...

I admit that would have been the best way to do it. I did not think about it at the time the work was being done. However had I known it was going to pop at such low psi things might be different.

I plan on removing the BOV and inserting a bolt to keep it open, later I will purchase one of Giles plates to clean the engine up a bit.

You don't have to remove the BOV to insert the bolt, just unthread the center threaded plug.
yeah the entire job should take less than 10 minutes
