Default baffle missing in rocker cover

hi guys i brought a modified 1600i rocker cover a while ago and never got round to fitting it. i noticed the other day that there is no baffle in it and wanted to know of that would cause any problem if i fitted it to my rts. also the car is runnig a garrett gt28 would i be able to remove the dump valve as mines fitted to my crossover pipe and the new one dosent have a take off tapped in it, could removing it damage a gt28 turbo?







you can see in the pic that the center breather pipe has been move so its in the same place as the rst

That's odd looking - never seen one modded like that before.

16i covers didn't have baffles in them. Don't know about on a turbo, but I ran one for years on an XR3i and it was fine

Yeah i ran a modded one years ago on my rs turbo, slightly different way of doing it but the same idea, i kinda like the way it still has the motorsport logo albeit on the other side. Its good to be different

Will look awesome im sure, who ever did it must of took a fair bit of effort to get it to that stage
