RE: Blow off Valve?
If you want to overtime cause problems on your vehicle and sound cool (to some) get a BOV.
If you want to retain the performance and reliability of your car get a DV like Forge 006/007, Bailey Motorsport DV30, or the HyperBoost HX. Even the Audi TT DV 710N is a step up from stock.
From what I have read I can not suggest you get a BOV for your Audi. I'm sure there are people running BOV on the A4 with no problems, but I have read enough about it to know I am not going to run a BOV. But I do plan on getting the Forge 006 and running it in reverse as the spring side holds more boost. I also have an after market intake kit (K&N 57i) and you can hear the sounds. Hope this helps.

It all depends on the application of the vehichle, thats what it comes down too. Stock cars its retarded to run one on, if you have a big turbo and pushing some real psi then maybe consider one with the right setup.

its all personal preference. theres strong arguments on both sides. one side says it makes your car run rich. the other side says richer is better.
i will forever run a BOV and will continue to answer questions that any newB asks. I speak with no authority on the DV since i have never run one. i have never attacked the DV. so i would appreciate it if you guys would give me the same curtisy. if youve had a bad experience with a BOV share it. if not, shut it the hell up

theory: audi designed the car THIS way, so the DV works without upgrading. BUT, should you upgrade, then you are obviously injecting more air than the car was originally designed to take, therefore maximising the air capacity of the engine, thus recycling the air is not required (BOV). But, should you say... follow this with an upgrade of exhaust (just for argument sake), then POSSIBLY the car could benefit from a DV, should the engine now have more capacity for air intake... so...my suggestion?
a) hell of a lot of research into cars with your exact upgrades (or what you plan on) look for dynos of some with a BOV, some with a DV
b) buy both, test them yourself. as hte mods change, change btw BOV and DV, depending what the dyno and your driving experience tells you
