The 'Forge' Splitter...
I know Forge is a 'creditable' manufacturer of Dump/Blow off valves, and they have came up with the idea of "The Splitter Re-circulating / Atmospheric Dump Valve"
I was about to buy a Recirculating Blow Off valve today, for my Audi A3 1.8T, untill i came across this beauty
BUT
I am not 100% convinced?
How can it blow out atmpspherically and create the 'whuuutshhh' sound at the same time as keeping the engine managment system happy?
What do you think?
is it worth it, or should i just stick to the FULL re-circulating valve for safety?
Cheers

RE: The 'Forge' Splitter...
the DV has the options for inserts that are either spacers or atmospheric bov-like. the adjustable one has the manually adjustable settings. full blow of [100%bo], partial blow off partial recirculation [50%recir], no blow off [100%recirc].
For me, having DSG/auto, it just woudlnt sound/feel right to have a bov type chirp. plus its at times, an annoyance. and depending on where you cruise through, be it highly patroled areas or if cops just like bust your *****, chances are you can be cited for that, which could possibly entail other citations if they REALLY wanna give you a hassle.
For me, I'll play it safe and stay with the standard forge DV. I'd rather let my intake make the sucking sound and the exhaust do the rest.

What kind of noise/sound will the FULL re-circulating Forge BOV make if any?
I understand it wont Blow off air into the atmosphere, but will it be any different to the stoke DV?
And whats DSG/auto mean mate im new to the lingo
