    Recirc valve vacuum hose

    Just fitted my blanking plate (what a £££££££ job), and now I'm wondering what to do with the vacuum hose that used to be on the valve itself? Can I use where it goes to the inlet for my boost gauge?

    Ben.

    I'm aware of the potential risks of not running any form of recirc/dump valve, however the 15g simply doesn't make enough boost for compressor stall to be enough of an issue.

    Besides, if anything does occur, it'll give me the perfect excuse to go down the bigger turbo route

    Can the port on the inlet not be used for a boost gauge?
