I have been looking at upgrading some things on my a4 1.8t and wanted to know if a blow off valve just replaces the stock bypass or if there is more to it than that. I want to get that sound from my turbo... if someone could explain how it all works with that.

 

search please...apply flame suit.
bovs are so bad for audis. just get a new dv if yours is broken

 

If you get a blow off valve you would need a recirculatory kit for it to send the charge back into the intake, otherwise you would want a new dv valve with a cold air intake and higher boost pressure than stock to get that sound.

 

In the words of a wise AF member:

Seeya guys

 

ok so say i upgrade my whole intake system and the BV. That doesnt give me that Sound right? i know i sound like a damn poser but i have always loved blow off sounds. If its just something you cant have on the a4 then im fine with that...

 

you cant have it on your car becuase you will run rich. and thats bad for your motor. and besides it will be hard to get a good noise beucase you run such little boost on a small turbo

 

how would you go about upgrading the whole intake system?

 

well the word "whole" referring to that i would get some type of complete intake system as well as hoses as opposed to say dropping in an ITG filter.

 

also for onepoint8tee, i like some of the ups you have on your A4, what do you think about a new intake, i have been looking at Carbonio. worth all that damn money? haha

 

yea the carbonio system is worth it... its really nice but its really not gunna give you too much as far as Hp goes



poor ARIF i hope he hasnt shot himself lol
