and yes, I know exhaust is the way to go to boost the horsepower, but i don't have $2000 hanging around at this point. sooo...yeah. but better air flow into the turbo and intake would most definitely have SOME effect on thecar other than making it hiss when the DV discharges.

Don't be afraid to say BOV!
Those that understand what a BOV does, that there are different types of BOVs, and understand what a DV does ... will understand you when you say BOV. They'll just state that your BOV must recirc.

Since the topic of heat soak and heat shields is already brought up.....
Anyone have a good write up or DIY of how to make a proper/effective heat shield? I'm sure there would be many happy audi owners with intakes ("CAI" or not) that would benefit from it.

its nomenclature, its not like it does anything different. but really, thank you for clearing that up. really super helpful. but I could go and buy a recirc BOV and it would work...and it wouldn't be called a DV would it...

RE: Cold Air Intake
A guy on audizine sells really nice heat shields and it gets great reviews. But you could do the same... Just take a trip to home depot and order some good shielding material to cover it with off the net.

unfortunately in massachusetts we do...which really sucks
If you dont have emissions tests in your state id go with a test pipe. That will be where your real performance gain is as far as exhuast systems go.
