Hello Silber,

some thoughts on the plug idea:
Make shure it can't move.
Make shure it doesn't put too much pressure on the IMS tube and that the pressure is evenly.
Make shure it doesn't influence the balancing of the IMS tube.
Make shure it is removable – just in case.

Also i would calculate the possible pressure differences, just to get an idea what differences you have to handle.

This is why i would rethink the idea and would come up with a more sophisticated plug. OK, i'm a native german guy.

Also study the OEM main bolt and the IMSB. There was the idea that both together create a seal towards the IMS tube that is more sealing than the IMSB seal itself.

Regards, Markus
