I personally wouldn't want to run with the plug in since when the oil heats up and pressure builds, it has nowhere to go. I think this puts more pressure on components that weren't necessarily meant to see that pressure. My 2 cents.

According to the vortech engineer I talked to, there is very little pressure build up. I wasn't willing to take the risk either. I did think about fabricating a pressure gauge set up that would screw into the vent port to see what kind of internal pressure the blower does produce but I never followed up.

turtle64b and "Z"en like this.
