View Full Version : Partial removal question, nozzles in the intake in particular.

So I am removing my system and I want to know if I can leave the nozzles in the intake pipes. I can see two options here, leave the whole nozzle in and pull everything after, but I worry about boost leaks. 2nd would be to leave the nozzles as well as the lines and the FAV and pull everything after. This part holds some boost before it sprays so I think it would be fine, but there's more gear left in the car.

So which do you think is my better option? I don't want to commit to pulling the nozzles completely because I might repair the wiring and re-install everything later (I'm gonna miss that 80hp+/- LoL! ) but probably not until maybe next year.


Thanks in advance,

Garth

Car is a B5 S4 if that matters. Has 2 nozzles installed in the front bi-pipe.

Did you use an aquamist jet adaptor on you install? We supply a blanking plug with them.
It is not a good idea to allow oil laced air flow past the jet, it will clog it up is no time.

Depending on the size of the jet, you would be expected to see any major drop in boost as it doesn't let that much air flow pass it.

You plug up a M3 screw inside an inch length of a 4mm hose and push it into the hostail of the jet. Just a quick fix.

I didn't do the original install, they look like this:
