It's a bit hard to understand what you mean but it sounds like you're running without a blow off valve, have blocked up the return pipe and have the thin vacuum line left over - is this right??

You shouldn't be running the engine without a blow off valve. Essentially, when you lift off the throttle, the pressurised air has no where to go so it goes back through the turbo - not good if you want your turbo to last. Get a bracket made up asap!

If you want to drive it to a workshop, you'll have to block up the vacuum line otherwise it will draw air in (post air flow meter) causing all sorts of issues.

Give one of the shops on this thread a call: http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/showthre...erth+workshops

I've used ASG and RMS on many occasions - can't speak for the rest. Good luck mate
