RE: question about BOV
Not the best idea. A bov vents metered air which the audis do not like, so the engine will end up running richer/less power because it still adds the fuel for that air that is bled. If you want more sound I suggest a more open intake and a diverter valve from Forge that vents back into the intake past the meter.
Or one of these.

RE: question about BOV
You cannot install a BOV unless you are going to completely change the engine management system so that it uses a calculated air intake system like a speed density instead of the hotwire measurement that is in place now (I think).
You can get a diverter valve and put an open intake on the car, you will still hear some of the Psh noise.

You know, I can hear the stock diverter valve a little bit when I have the windows open. I bet with a Forge diverter and an aftermarket (less restrictive) intake you could hear it pretty well. It still would not be annoyinglyg loud, but it would probably sound decent. Anyone who has a similar setup care to chime in on this thought? Chef?
