Vortech Bypass Removal

[Nomadic]

Any tips or tricks for removing this thing? I've got big hands, and this bypass valve is in the tightest place possible it seems.

Tried attacking it from underneath, doesn't look like I can slip the pipe out without removing the fan shroud.

It can be got at from the bottom, as I recall. It is incredibly tight and you need to do a little spatial reasoning to figure out the little twists needed, like getting a couch up a flight of stairs. If you twist the pipe for access, you can get to the mounting bolts with the pipe in place, too. I have long fingers though, not ham hands

Im already 2 band aids deep on my hand, but I'll give it a shot!

Happy to report after a beer break, it can be manipulated from the bottom and removed, with lots of wiggling, geometry problems, and brute force.

JPC block off plate looks good in its place

I had the same question as you OP lol.. Thinking about replacing it with either vortechs 360 bov or getting a turbosmart race port valve, but i dont know if its quieter than tial or not. I know tial is pretty loud when idling or driving slow.
