a recirculating valve should b aright. my mechanic who specializes in audis says that dump valves really dont make the car run rich or whatever so i wouldnt worry about it too much unless u start having noticable problems.

Yeah I don't believe your mechanic. So many people here and on all the forums against them. They really just don't go with Audi's (maybe Honda's).
