dv is the one on the intake hose right?
ok my friend jus got the hks bov for a prize at a shop. he has 99.5 1.8. he wants to install it he's wondering if he has to replace it where the bpv is or where the dv is. im not familiar with audis having bovs so i don't kno. and plz b nice wen u post. lol thnx

 

naw man, the bypass valve is the diverter valve, and its down lower, way low on the turbo outlet hose, look under the car on the pass side its chillin there on the outlet hose and theres two big connections and one small one for the vac line and its not gunna work unless it has the recirc kit, BOV's are bad for audi's

 

so that picture doesn't show the dv at all right? so he would have to jack up the car and remove the scrap guard from there you'll c the dv? and wut u mean its not goin to work. u mean it'll work but u don't recommend it right.

 

First yea you gotta take that plastic thing off and it will be chillin right under there on the pass side, and second yes the car will run with a BOV but it will be very poorly, the audis are designed to run on a closed loop system and when a bov is put in it vents pre-metered air and the car will seriously run like ****


I ran my car with a bov for about 3 mins, it ran like crap, idled shitty, and it messed with my computer, had to clear **** with the vag com, computer was beeping at me left and right it was really annoying, i drove it a mile down the road and back to see what it would do, and promptly ripped the piece of **** back off, and it was a good bov not cheap, borrowed it off my neighbors 240sx lol

 

how many screws are holding the plastic guard. well its not screws but u kno wut i mean and . does he have to replace anything parts like clamps, hoses etc

 

Umm i think theres like 8 to 10 screws, i dont konw cuz i never had one, lol and you will need some new hose clamps to put the bov on if he decides to do it, which is really against better judgement

wait it says there for the 97 bpv is higher up so u dont' need to jack up the car. but is the dv in the same location as all the other b5s?(under it) cuz i have a 97 and im getin a forge dv and i was wondering i have to jack up the car. im confused

 

In that pick the thing thats circled is not the bpv its the n75 valve which is the electronice boost controler and wastegate accuator, the DV is under the car and if the car isnt lowered you can probably fit underthere, i can almost fit under mine enough to see it at least by mines lowered

 

yea i dont know why that dude did that its 100 times easyer to get to from the bottom, and im almost positive that its never changed location......ever

 

o ok, well im lowered so ill have to jack up the car. so do u have anything else to add b4 i help my friend out?. thnx for the help badluckaudi. i needed the questions answered fast so thnx again
