Default 1.8T question

I heard that when you chip the 1.8t, the stock blow off valve is pretty much useless. Should i replace the blow off valve. If i should, which one is good? Also when the a/c is on and the turbo kicks in i hear some sort of a rattling noise, only when the turbo is on... Can someone help me out?

Is it easy to replace the dv? Where do you suggest i get it from? I bought a greddy style blow off valve off of ebay. Should i replace the blow off valve anyway or should i not bother. Also it is a different style than the original. It has a place to bolt it on to something. Hopefully you can help me.

do the DVs exploit any sound? cause the sound of a BOV is so hot

well that bov you got probably wont work. you need to get a forge dv or a stratmosphere or something along those lines also the 710n is good. and they make some noise but you cant really hear it. its nothing as loud as a bov

they are the same. they both vent air. most people on here will say that a bov will vta (vent to atmosphere) and the dv will vent back into the intake. but as you can see from my sig i have a bov, yes it says bov but it is set up to vent back into the intake system.
