stupid question: what do you do with the RECIRC hose that attached to the stock BOV?
I just got my WORX BOV today. I know that it doesn't need the recirc hose, but what if I need to adjust to 50/50 or 100% recirc? Do I need this? If I don't need this hose, what do I do with it..just leave it unattached or clamp it off?

Can't wait to get this on!!
thanks in advance!

the WORX BOV is ADJUSTABLE...doesn't it mean that you can go from 100% recirc to 100% atmosphere? Does that mean I need this hoses?

anyway, it doesn't really have a place of the recirc hose to go on...only the one for the wmall tube.

if it is adjustablt it has to reconnect to the stock recirculation hose. if it dosent connect then its not adjustable.

If it doesn't need the recirc hose, then cap it.

what do you use to cap it?

I didn't get instructions but it says that I can turn it the **** to 5 settings from 100% recirc to 100% atm. but for some reason there is no recirc hose attachment...im confused.

If i am not mistaken, the forge either comes in Recirc. or in Atmospheric, so if you got the atmospheric then you need to cap the recirc. hose...i bet you could use a hose clamp and a soda bottle top (might be too small) to plug it till you get an actual hose plug. With my GFB blow off valve it came w/ a lil metal piece and a clamp to plug it up...

since I bought is used, there was no instuctions and no clamp. I guess I need to go get one to cap the recirc hose...but that means that I can only get 100% atm..that sucks.

The WORX BOV does have a flange for the stock recirculation hose. Look at all of the pics of the WORX BOV. The BOV bolts to the intercooler. It then has a nipple for a small hose and a small flange for the recirculation hose fitting, right?
