No.

You want the psssshhhht sound that a BOV makes. BPV's don't make this sound. As said above, the Audi requires a BPV, so you are not going to get this sound.

Get over it. The sound doesn't make the car faster! The Honda world is so caught up in cosmetics and sound. Audi is not that way. It is a true German performance car - no flash, just a lot of get up and go.

Amen brother!!!

What's the point of having a BOV?.... you shouldn't ever be driving slow enough to hear it anyway, and if you are, then you don't deserve a fine piece of performance engineering. The sound is nice, don't get me wrong, but I would much rather have a fast car than a car that makes a cool sound!

I have a TurboXS blow off valve and have had no trouble so far. In fact I love the sound. Do what ever you want, you can exchange 1-3 hp for the bov sound. For me it was worth it. BTW Doose: How did that Saab fan install go? pm me with your results. i went with the CO2 injection system and fmic in conjuction with rs4 side intercoolers. P.S. if any one wants to give me any **** about how my bov makes my car slower i just ran a 12.59 at 103 mph and the Z06 next to me ran a 12.52. if i can figure out how to scan this damn thing ill put it on the internet.

why all the flaming, the only good responce i got was from David_K. i do want that sound, my car do whatever i want. look at david_k's car. i think he did what he wanted and he is happy with his e.t.'s. you guys are talking about audi's like they are the best cars out there and put hondas on the bottom of the list. i dont even wanna go into honda and how it is a great car. all i need is answers and not ur opinion of how my mods suck, ok? thanks. so all i asked can i put in a blow off without any check engine lights or problems? thanks a lot

Flaming? Whatever. If you don't like the opinions you get, then don't ask.

Haha!!!

David/Member no one here said it will directly reduce you power what were sayin is if you want the sound its going to cost you longlivity of some components

David just cuz your car is fine now doesnt mean its not bad for it... its something that takes time to take effect on your car

Member you said the only good response you got was from david...actually what you meant to say was the only response you wanted to hear came from david

Ask for opinions and you get them! you dont want them dont ask for them![sm=shutup.gif]

Some people have run them and got check engine lights and some people have not. ECS says that the HKS SSQ BOV wont throw check engine lights, i don't think i can believe that, but, i have heard of people using that one and it worked fine. Maybe try the hybrid ones, its half as bad then.
