^^ = bad advise , dont get a blow off vavle for your audi, we have a closed loop turbo system where air is reciruclated (sp) and is not ment to be blown off into the atmosphere via a blow off valve. our cars come with a diverter valve or DV for short which is the audi verison of a blow off vavle, it recirculates air and does not release it into the atomsphere.

Bottom line, dont get a blow off vavle, they are bad for our cars. Search the archives on this one, this discussion happens allmost every day.

btw, i thought the 2005 a3 was made in a 2.0T. or are you from europe where the a3 has been out for a while?

we always say: better to much gas than too much air in the engine... you surely know of wasted engines becuase of too much air?!

i drive one from the manufactor "monza" in my 1.8t of my tt and i could not imagine be without it in future. the turbo hole is reduced and it sounds sooooooooooooooooo genious ;)

not relly both thinks are relevant. But if you put too much fuel into the engine you damage the whole exust and can blow the fre@king thnk ou of the back.
If there is to little fuel and then you can melt the half the engine.
