I said if I didn't have a BOV I would mess up the turbo. that doesn't mean a DV wont do the same thing. You guys drive euro cars and dont realize that most BOV today COME with recirculating kits. They still sound louder than a DV, so I was trying to tell this kid to get the blow off valve and use the recirculating kit. The car will run no different than having a DV. If he wants sound then the BOV will be louder even if recirculated.

Damn you guys are **** as hell. All of you must be German! Im half German but not as tempermental as you people.

 

Did you even read my last post? Go back and reread the whole thing. Everybody heres knows you need a dv or bov thats obvious I think you missed the whole point of this thread

 

This is exactly what I was saying and everyone jumped on my *** but since your a mod I guess no one can argue with you.

 

no it isn't... lets go back to your original post...

Even though what you said is mainly correct for some cars - you gave extremely misleading information here than is anything but good for Audis. You are telling this kid to buy a BOV and then recirculate it - that will do nothing except act exactly like the DV that already comes with his car. It does nothing to answer his question - which was how to get the PSSST noise. Everything in your above post is misleading in some way or totally false in regards to Audis.

You might just wanna pony up and admit you learned somthing about Audis in thread.

anyway I'm done with this thread... some people refuse to admit lack of knowledge on anything. Me being a MOD has nothing to do with what I know to be fact. My informed opinion comes from stripping down a 1.8t engine and tuning/rebuilding it back up.

 

Here is my original statement: What is wrong with it? i knew this kid was going to upgrade because of sound so I told him to recirculate it. I know a DV does the same thing, diverts air to the airbox, so does my BOV, its just louder. So I was telling him if he wants to retain the driveabiltiy but increase the sound then get a BOV and use the recirculating kit. Agreed you can upgrade the DV with a stiffer spring but this kid wants more SOUND!! So if he wants more sound and wants to go with more boost then a BOV with the recirculating kit is a good idea! I have to have a DV or a BOV on my car but they really dont make a DV for my setup. Everyone does a BOV with the recirculation kit. Everything I said in this statement was true in the context of what this kid wanted.

 

We were just confused as to why you mentioned the fact that running neither DV or BOV would result in damaging your turbo... I mean, talk about stating the obvious... you dont need to have been working on turbo'd cars "since before you had pubes on your *****" to know that stuff... you were insulting our intelligence -- i think we woulda needed to dumb ourselves up a bit to grasp why you were doing what you were doing.

 

nightstalker, please go do some research on audis before you come onto the forum acting like you know what you're talking about....read about audi's closed-loop turbo systems, as well as BOVs vs. DVs...then you can come back and argue....


EDIT: i finally finished reading this INCREDIBLY long thread...and nightstalker, you changed arguments about 3 times here....

 

I said that because everyone automatically assumes that if you have a BOV your car runs like ****, I blatently said you need a recirculation kit if you want to have the sound and good driveability. Greddy, Blitz and most others all come with a recirculation kits. So since no one agreed with this I had to start at square one and explain that you need a DV or A BOV to keep your turbo in one piece. i was just responding to the level of intelligence that was being displayed. All you guys did was to proceed to call him a ricer(in so many words), putting a wing on his car, etc... No one really had good intelligence on how to achieve his goal. The answer was what I said, a BOV with the recirculation kit. Who cares if he will look like that or this, its his ******* car let him do what he wants. Why does everyone here think that because you drive a euro your all the sudden "above" everyone. I am buying my A4 because it is quality, luxury performance that will project a classy image to my clients. That doesn't mean I am going to make fun of a kid with a BOV....

 

as I recall you don't even own a turbo....all factory Turbo cars like supras, WRX, Audi's, except RX-7 come with a closed loop DV....so shut up. You act like Audi invented it but just about all factory turbo cars have it including the SRT-4.

 

You never needed to start back at square one... and how much noise do you think he'll get out of a BOV recirculating, when he's running like 6 lbs of boost... lol. Buying a BOV with the intent to recirculate, is buying more than you need. I dont know if anybody besides you would disagree.
