RE: Which BOV to get? and dont give me crap on DV
Dude, I dont care if your 50, your post speak for themselves. If you think your going to run fry a turbo every 3mth without ur bov you have, then you obvisouly dont know what your talking about. You are prolly new to audis and there turbo systems. I dont have a high ego at all, i like other turbo cars alot.But i know audis turbo system because ive ripped it apart, learn more the audi turbo system and then come back and talk.

WTF does this mean? I run 15-18psi on my car every day. Have done so on two cars for a total of 4 years... I never had any turbos blow because of it.

If I didnt have a BOV on my car boosting 15psi I would be going though a turbo at least every 3 months.

You obvisouly dont if you think running 15psi to 18psi is big ****, and you will fry a turbo every 3mth without a bov, i run 23psi, with a bigger turbo, and im not frying any turbos?

Why is it everyone trys to slam someone here and look cool on the internet? I guess this isn't an informative message board.
What a great welcome from everyone. If its gonna be like this all the time I rather not be around all these over inflated heads.
GO ASK ANYONE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR TURBO IF YOU DID NOT HAVE A WAY OF RELEASING PRESSURE BEFORE IT GETS BACK TO YOUR TURBO WHEN YOU CLOSE THE THROTTLE. Wether its a DV or a BOV, same thing... one is commonly recirculated and the other is not but they both release pressure before it gets back to the turbo. Is everyone here that close minded?

Thats because you have a DV or a BOV whatever you want to call it. i am trying to say that if you have neither you will mess up your turbo. In case you didnt know all BOV's that I know of are closed at idle, why would you want it otherwise? That guy was insulting me because he was insinuating that I know everything about turbos. "Stop acting like your a turbo gu ruu"

If your DV was not holding pressure at boost then you should have upgraded your DV - a BOV was not the answer to your problem.
A BOV will work with other manufacturers the way it is supposed to because the maf system is different. Most japanese cars have systems that can be manually manipulated and are fine for BOV, boost controllers, etc...
In regards to the "insulting" remark... I thought you were responding to TomRitt...
This board can be very informative - you have to leave your sensitive side at the door though. You may think your right, but that doesn't mean you can't learn something. No one here has really insulted you. A lot of information has passed your way, but all you do is cry about how no one wants to agree with you.

Did you not read that I said recirculated? RECIRCULATED MEANS TO PUT THE AIR BACK IN THE SYSTEM KEEPING IT CLOSED.
Be careful to read before you start insulting someone.
By they way DV and BOV are the same thing. I have my BOV recirculated so there is no difference. An aftermarket BOV is better at releasing pressure.

Every turbo system either has a DV or a BOV. Whether or not its a DV or a BOV depends on how the system is designed. In Audi's case, it needs a Diverter Valve to recirculate the air in order to prevent maf readings from going awry. If that air was vented to the atmosphere, it would cause the MAF to rich-out the A/F ratio, in turn fouling plugs, fouling the cat, reducing gas mileage, reducing performance.

TomRitt: why will it run richer if the system is not losing any air? Doesn't a DV place the air back into the intake stream?

Yeah, and a BOV and a DV arent the same thing... although you might be able to make your BOV recirculate, you wont have a DV release air into the atmosphere, now will you?
So basically, you were saying that if you run NEITHER, you'll damage your turbo... wow, thats informative. I was just about to take off my DV and crimp the hoses until you said that! Everybody here is right... your stock DV died, and you ran to BOV, which was unneccessary, you probably paid more than you needed to as well, since most of us can get by with the 710N.
This post, is about swapping a perfectly fine DV for a BOV soley for an increase is noise... so this guy will have the air being released into the atmosphere, or "blown off"... so he will encounter the problems that have been mentioned, and he should NOT install a BOV for that reason. I think audiboy was the guy who said use a BOV if you're running a custom setup, and HUGE turbo... thats more than 15 lbs of boost, durrr....

Jesus Christ I agree with everything you say man but what you guys dont want to agree with is that you need somthing to release pressure before the turbo. My BOV releases that pressure and shoves it back in the intake stream before the MAF. I don't know of any car that responds well to a vented BOV especially if their is a MAF sensor.

You would do better to sell that BOV off, and buy a $30 710N DV. Make yourself some cash, since you are not using the BOV functionality anyway.
