Guess that must mean the dump valve shafted. Probably. No reason to cap it off otherwise, but it'd be worth the hose to just hook it back up & try it. Is there any chance the person you bought it from would have done that to try to enhance performance?

Well... worst case, you'll hit the overboost protection (and you WILL know it when you do), which isn't the worst thing in the world. I don't think there's a danger of making anything go boom, except maybe your nose against the windshield if you're not belted in properly. But yeah, if it is bad, no time like the present to upgrade. If you're gonna replace a part, it's always worth looking into a performance replacement. Dave Hinz
