becuase audis run a close loop system, a bov will make your car run rich. killing ur cat after a while. a dv is like a bov but it dosent vent to the atmosphere but back into the intake

Running rich must hurt more than the cat right? I have heard alot of people say it kills the cat but it seems like it would do more??????????

ok so this is something ive wanted to get off my mind...

DSM's run BOV's...and you can either vent them or re route them...so why cant you just buy a BOV on an audi and re route it... where does it reroute too?? back into the intake, or somewhere else...

also if you want to vent on an audi, cants you just run like a GM-MAF setup...and put the air sensor after the BOV/DV, causing the motor to not run rich...

well in theory you can run a different set up with a diff maf and what not, using a standalone fuel injection system or what ever but that’s a lot of work to run a ******* BOV that’s not even worth it.... Audi’s vent back to the intake because its already metered air therefore it cant be vented to atmosphere with out screwing things up

Ok if you want the BOV Sound then just run a Go Fast Bits Hybrid BOV which was designed for Close Loop Systems....and trust me it works fine. Iam running one and i recently got a EVOMS Intake system and noticed that you can hear the air been re-routed back into the intake
