Hi all, when fitting a snorkel do you just need to seal the pipes to the intake of the turbo or should you do all the others ie from the turbo to the inters etc. just thought anything after the turbo would be at positive pressure so no need to seal
 
why would'nt you want to seal um all up :rolleyes: would defeat the whole object of a snorkel shirley ? (what daft says to :doh:)
 
can seal them all up but just thought as it's positive pressure after the turbo it would keep the water out if there was any small pin holes
 
I would try a bag trick, which some say work and some say dont. But, seal the wing section and snorkel to wing. Then try and cut the engine out when in idle by placing a bag over the snorkel intake. If it cuts out, you know its sound as it is, if not well you can then persue sealing other things.

I have a hole in the end of my filter which I need to bung up. I heard you can use a coke bottle top to block that up :)

Do ya mean the engine breather pipe?

any pipe that's open to atmosphere on the air intake side needs to be sealed or there's no point having a snorkel!
