What have all of you used to plug the long tube extending underneath the intake elbow. I dont want to spend the money on a new 1LE elbow or a vortech elbow cause my was just replaced cause it was ripped hard core. Any suggestions???? Thanks in advance!!!

 

Plugging the hole has no real performance advantage. If you just replaced your elbow and have no other real reason to plug it off (like electric water pump), just wait until you need a new one. The 1LE version can be had for ~$45 and store-bought plug is pretty expensive.

 

I use aluminum tape on the hole in mine. I have also seen others use the cap off a Pert shampoo bottle. Or if you're really crafty you can make one out of a chunk of wood.
