Did I do the N249 Bypass right?

[JamJay]

Hi all, as above really. I connected the inlet manifold to N249 hose --> DV to N249 hose together with an inline hose connector, bypassing the N249 altogether and leaving the connectors on it, exposed and unused. Have I done this right? Do I leave the N249 connectors open to the atmosphere?

Initial reaction is a massive , pick up improved, boost holds better throughout the rev range, less hesitation when planting foot even with TCS off, slightly louder DV, scared the cr*p put of my dad but he begged me to take the long way home and I feel much more in control of the car and what I want it to do.

yeah thats the one, you could also get rid of the other pipes and the Vac Box but dont unplug the n249

Thanks Gooner, I think i'll leave it all as it is, just in case of issue in the future, I can whip it back to OEM in a flash.

Really impressed with the results to be honest, some cars seem to like this mod, others hate it.

have you i thought it always gave out fault codes, For some reason i get the n249 fault code and mines plugged in i think its my Kompact Dv that causes it

It's an awesome mod and for free/for price of a connector and hose clips . It's a sunny day down in Surrey so I think i'll test her on the way down to Brighton!
