Removing ARV from turbo
I currently have the turbo from my 1985 300D KaliKar apart on the bench. I was wondering if there was any advantage to removing/blocking the ARV while I'm in there?
What exactly is the ARV for? How is it supposed to function? I have the vacuum line to it removed; is that good enough or should I remove the entire mechanism and make a block-off plate for the hole? When I took it apart I found a spring pressing on a diaphragm that appears to be controlled by the vacuum connection. It all appears to be connected to the wastegate. Thanks for any help/info.

Thanks, that was good info. Mine is just disconnected too.
So now that I have it apart, I was wondering if it could fail somehow...What if:
I've attached some photos:

I pressed a freeze plug into the hole the piston covers then put everything back together. I would have capped the port into the turbo inlet as well but it was an odd shape.
