intake recirculating bov plug

I got a question for you guys running vta bovs. On the intake for your evo, there is usually a tube that you connect the recirc/diverter valve back to the intake. when you are running a vta for what ever reason (you are running a blow thru setup, speed desity, standalone, your a ricer whatever) how do you plug that tube up? i know a few companies make ones without, but for the most part, they all have them. Is there a special plug you are all using, or do you just rig it up?

ATP Turbo has an aluminum plug for this if you don't mind paying for it and waiting for shipping.

A bottle cap may work. Just make sure it's clamped tight in the little bov coupler. I knew a few dsmers doing this back in the day. lol

Obviously cars running standalones use intakes w/out the bov pipe.

Go to ur local hardware or home improvement store, get a rubber fitting that goes over the bottom of a chair, tighten it down and ur good to go...may sound ghetto but it looks good and does an awesome job.

the plug i used was a thick ribber circle in the same circumference of the intake pipe it has a small hole drilled in the middle with a bilt and a washer on top and at the botton has the other end of the bolt with a nut and a washer. when u tighten it in place the rubber piece expands and works great
