Default modded to accept a bov?

There is a performance shop here in connecticut that caters to vw and audi. Apparently they can put in a mod ecu that will run the system according to a bov. Can this be done or has anyone heard of something similar?

Thats BS .
Screw A BOV. What you want is a diverter valve.
BOV's will cause you to run rich. Plus , they sound annoying!

Hmmm your sig says your done with the Honda scene...so why would you want to modify an Audi to accept somthing that it wasen't designed for; somthing that Honda kids are obsessed with!? [sm=dontgetit.gif]

my buddy has a gti and goes to a place called yarro. I have parts laying around from my last project, and the sound of a bov is my preference. I'm not dumb enough to put it in if i can't make it work properly. I was curious to know if anyone had heard of this

(just to let you know EX Honda)
People here get very fired up w/ talks about BOV, best to just shy away from the subject. I believe we only had one supporter of BOV in the past who did it to his car and claimed it was fine, but all evidence points to the fact that it is harmful for our turbos. you can search the forums for numerous past threads.
