I bought one of these machined aluminum BOV plugs for my 1.6 and forgot where I got it. Does anyone know of a supplier?

Make your own out of 1/8" steel seal it with sillycone and use the stock clamp on it as well.

guys... screw the BOV blocker.  its only good if you want to go above 20 psi (which is only for the hardcores out there  :lol:)

just screw that screw in and you'll be hard pressed to open the BOV.  i pegged 20 psi and even more without my BOV opening  :wink:

If Mike doesn't want to make anymore I can, easy project for the cnc lathe to take care of 8)

But shoot him a pm and see if he has anymore or intentions of making more.

It's really kind of strange.....I've had only a few people interested since I ran out but all of a sudden a bunch of people want them. I'm going to check into having more of them made. The machinist that originally made these is no longer machining stuff  :(

Ok, I think I can have more of them made. How about a roll call. How many are in?
