Im going to fit a blanking plate to my turbos recirculating valve and fitting dump valve. When i remove the valve and fit plate what do i do with the vacuum pipe that was on the valve?

In that case do i need to remove valve or can i cut vac pipe in two and bung both ends so valve cant vent?

Thanks Got blanking plate on and vac pipe bunked up. Took it for a run car idles fine but when driving along if put clutch in the revs go very low and if i hold clutch in she stalls. If i give her a bit of throttle revs come up n idles fine. What would cause car to drop revs n stall?

Haven't fitted the DVD yet. Wanted to take it a run and hear it chatter, like a big kid :) It doesn't chatter. Turbos definitely spooling I can hear and feel it

Seems to be ill put a bit of sealing around it to make sure. Would that cause it to stall tho?
