n249 bypass yes or no??

[sakib]

Is it worth and also safe to do a n249 bypass??

i guess its worth it in the sense that it reduces the risk of having any vac leaks in the n249 pipe work; it also cleans up the top of the engine. No 'go faster gains' to be had from it though

safe, yeah - just leave the N249 valve electrically connected

personally I wouldn't bother unless you have a leak there - in which case bin off and simplify it all

Done mine followed the thread on here very detailed and very simple bay looks better and also much easier for changing plugs and coil packs and as above 1 less thing to leak as has a lot of pipes on it

When the car is cold you might notice it to be a bit jerky on light throttle. Only negative side effect that I've experienced

Cleans up the engine bay quite a bit and less pipes to split so worth it imo

 

[sakib]

I have done it anyhow
