Default Want to remove dump valve...what to use to blank pipe?

As title, need something to blank off the pipe that the d/v fits to? Suggestions as to what & where I'd get hold of something to do this very much appreciated....no I haven't got the standard recirc valve.

i don't like spending money on parts if they're not going to enhance performance or reliability if you can make something yourself

that's about 5 quid more than a broom handle then. and you need 2. a broom handle will do quite a few cars.

group buy on broom handle pieces anyone?

i find it improves the spool up on gear changes

probably won't do anything for your VAG as they're quite a quick spooling turbo anyway. you also risk damaging the turbo, depending on different peoples opinions. best to ask around on a VAG forum
