Blanking plate

**t5cookie** · Monday 13th May 2013, 17:30

Ive jus recived a 16t (thanks to t5frankie) it has a blanking plate on it. I currently have a 15g with blanking plate and since i fitted the plate it started smoking, so i dident know weather fittong the blank plate without a dump valve would damage the turbo or not?

i wouldnt run it having a blanking plate on without a dump valve .

the back pressure stalls the compressor blades, and probably didnt help the seals on your old one.

i think that was only a Custom Chrome cone filter, but only running 10psi. I've got the filter bypass valve now tho
