Summer temps are here already, and I want to switch from venting my BPV back into the blower to venting to atmosphere.
What do I use to block off the hole where the BPV tubing goes back in, and I saw somewhere mention of a filter to put on the end of the BPV - where can I get one and what do I get ?
All there is to switching is just to remove the tubing and plug up the hole, right ?
Oh, and is there a sponsor that sells the dual SPAL fans ? I want to look into upgrading.
Thanks !

the filter you can get anywhere who sell k&n filter.
or just buy a plug from homedepot i think its a 1 1/4 and clamp it on.
here's a pic of mine. you'll see the plug on the inlet hat.

Thanks for the help guys, I got it done. I have a 1 1/4" rubber plumbing cap on the end of the inlet hose for now, I think I will try to get a 1 1/4" freeze plug tomorrow and clamp it into the blower inlet.
The filter on the BPV would really be just to quiet the whooshing sound down a little, not really to filter the air. I'll probably drive it with it venting to atmosphere for a few days and see if the noise starts to bother me.
