    Re circ valve blanking

    Is it possible to blank off the recirc valve on my remapped t5 without fitting a dump valve? Will it do any damage ? Is there any more to it than romoving the valve, fitting the plate and blanking the vacuum hose?

    I've got a recirc blanking plate on mine, never had any problems with it at all.
