Blow-Off Valve

  2. Plug in connector on blow-off valve. Using a pair of vise grip pliers, clamp hose between compressor housing and wastegate actuator.
    CAUTION: Engine must not be raced when pliers are installed on hose. Engine damage may result.
  3. On manual transmission, drive in 3rd gear. On automatic transmission, place selector in position "2". On both models, apply throttle carefully to approximately 3000 RPM while applying brakes.
