Default Want to go to bypass valve instead of blowoff valve

Anyone got an idea how to modify the intake pipe so I can recirculate to the intake before turbo compressor? I'm thinking of putting like a 2" hole on the bottom face of my cone intake filter and put a short pipe to plumb there.

Help me with ideas. I don't have a welder at home so get me something DIY

If anyone is wondering why, I just like a sleeper style boosted car. My BOV sounds annoying after a while and I like the high pitch spooling sound better than the whoosh...

Just weld on the appropriate sized piece of pipe onto the intake pipe. Then run the rubber hose from the BOV to the 'nipple' you welded on.

sounds like you need to be a bit more creative. if it takes welding, have somebody weld a pipe up. shops weld things for cheap, its not gonna cost 1,000 bucks.

you could make the pipe up (old clean up exhaust pipe works well, and lots of people have it sitting around )

make it, cut it where it needs to be cut, mark it how it needs to go, then take it to a welder. or just get a bunch of silicone or rubber adaptors and clamps and just piece it together.

you could JB weld a return piece onto your intake pipe, or whatever. if its steel or aluminum, you'd be best to have somebody weld it. lots of exhaust shops will do a bit of side-welding on steel stuff.

just be a little creative. it'll get you places fast.
