looking into getting a set of blow off valves
RE: looking into getting a set of blow off valves
i agree that the bov noise is gay....... but like i said, a map car will adapt to the fact that the air is nolonger there..... so you won't be loosing anything

How exactly will it re-learn? If you're dumping to atmosphere, the signals that made it to the ECU suggest a boost leak. Maf reads x CFM of air, which should translate to x PSI of pressure in the intake. If the PSI is less, it looks like the air is disappearing and the ecu has to trim down the fuel. Odds are you'll end up with fuel trim error codes on newer/more sophisticated ecus. Definitely a stupid thing to have only because you want to live out your Paul Walker wet dreams...

As for the ecu, the motronic ecu's are very good when it comes to add ons and adaptation. It great since unlike a evo or other cars you have to have all of your mods stated when you get it flashed, these ecus can correct for changes in airflow by adding/subtracting fuel to reach a requested a/f.
And yes, i have been running one on my TT for well over a year and no issues. Just remember, FACTS > 0 experience

I've never owned a 1.8t, but I've had several fast DSMs (my brother had a 450hp monster one also) and I've got a 2.7T currently. It's the same principle everywhere else - you're losing measured air. It won't kill the car, but running rich because the car will go "pfffffffffffffffffff" is stupid in my head.

We got it, you dont like bovs, but why not listen to people that know what they are talking about?

We dont need to mess with the maf placement to run a bov. All you have to do is a just add in a pair of hks ssqv or better yet, a pair of forge004's. The ecu will take care of itself. When you do add in a bov, you may feel some richness when you shift but that goes away in about a day. After that, you wont have any rich issues.
