Replacing diverter valve with BOV
Im replacing the factory diverter valve with a BOV. What should I do with the line that connects to the diverter valve. Plug it? Thanks.

Naah, don't do that, man. Use a Forge racing Bypass valve. It makes a pretty cool sound and it doesn't shed the air that has already been weighed by your AFM/MAF and give you a rich condition which will REDUCE performance.

Hooooo - back it out there, partner.
Your BOV opens every time you close the throttle enough to cause a vacuum. Like 80% of your car's life at part throttle on the highway/2 lane
Also - it will be helpful to remember that most of the magazine articles you read about turbo cars were written by ****ing idiots.
Like this one,...... " I crested the hill, and I could hear the wastegates venting their load as I slammed it into third"
Yeah, right stupid.

To answer your question, just plug the hole on the J-boot. I have seen some eclipse's with a nice quality aluminum plug made for just the purpose of plugging the hole on them but their bypass valve's are about half an inch bigger then the 944's. There might be someone though that makes a smaller plug but I would just go look around at a hardware store.
On a side note I had an HKS SSQV on my previous 951 for a short time, and I did notice a difference. Spool up after shifts seemed to be much slower and almost a dragging affect on the engine. And sometimes when I would shift the car felt like it lost all power.
