did mine this morning with these stoppers for $4.00 ea from Advance Auto. The front BOV off definately audible not too loud. Both off a little too loud for my liking. The rear only off maybe just right.

*****IF YOU DO IT THIS WAY.....use your common sense and DO NOT overtighten these plugs or it could split the intake pipe especially since there's a seam on the plastic that runs though these plastic ports. I turned mine about 1.5 full turns and it's plenty snug to not come out. 1 turn may be plenty depending on how snug it is when it goes in. Enjoy....

It does look sharp!   

One question 68:

If the nut comes loose can the bolt fall out?...   Obviously this would be bad in a turbo feed line.... I just don't know the expansion plug you used.

I was going to use something like this for my RX catch can install, but Tracey told me they just use drilling to eliminate the chance of solid objects in the intake.

I took the plugs off yesterday too much rish and the bolt was too short with that nut on to have anywhere for a cotter pin to go through it. Maybe if I can find a thinner nut I can pull it off.

Weird thing is the car seemed a littel down on power while venting out ??? Probably beasue I was listening to the new noises I guess ?? Anyone else ever think this ? make any sense at all ???

I'd drill thru nut and bolt or find a small castle nut.

Maybe since it's vacuum (intake) tubing the silicon cap is a better idea... I have had Locktite fail on  firearm scopes occasionally, so I personally wouldn't trust it... not even the red version... consequences of failure are too high (new turbos).

Can't speak to the real world performance... times, etc.... but no dyno difference when VTA. 
Maybe some prevention of exhaust gas recycling getting concentrated a bit from PCV system by not recirculating blow-off to turbo feed piping.

yeah a large vaccum cap is probably the best idea I just couldn't find one big enough. YET.

No power difference VTA, maybe you unplugged something or didn't tighten a tube back up and you have a boost leak.
