Hey guys,

I have a 2000 TT, 180HP. It's a fun car..and im new to it...but I would really like the sound of a blow off valve....not loud...not riced...just a slight little...hisss... here and there... plus i've read that it gives your turbo better air/preformance ...gaining HP...this true?


Thanks guys.

 

Audi's don't use a BOV, we need to use a Diverter Valve. Because the valve occurs past the point of measurement by the MAF, dumping air back to atmosphere will overtime generate a rich fuel condition. Go with a Forge 007 DV.

The better performance comes from the fact that the stock Bosch DV has a rubber diaphram that wears out and causes a leak through condition. When you go to a chip the boost pressure goes up and the stock valves can sometimes have trouble holding that back.

If you want a whoosh sound, you'll have to make that with your mouth instead. [8D]

 

XCLR8TT, are those headlight covers or shades over your headlights or are those inside the headlight itself? They look really good, I would like to put them on my silver TT. Where did you get them? And do they resrict the headlights at all?

 

Those are sick, ...i want those lights too!

 

Do a search for headlight mods, if not here, go on audiworld.

Most BOVs actually make the car run like garbage; the rich condition is not unique to Audis, it is fairly common for a BOV. (I'm not talking about high quality, high performance installations, that's different).

 

I disassembled the headlights and painted the surround to match the body. It's not too tough to do, just time consuming. I did it in conjunction with installing the RISO clear corners and reflector removal. You remove the headlight assembly and place it in a 200 degree oven to soften the glue. I did it over a weekend.

Here are a couple of FOTKI step by step photos.

If you do go the BOV route, I would stick with the GFB Hybrid diverter valve. It does both, recirculates plus vents it in the atmosphere. I ran it on my Gti for 4 years and never had trouble.

 

NO BOV!!!!! [:'(]

 

I've got one too. I am curretly ordering the plug set that will let me go to a full plumback and keep the valve.
