A4 bov
sup everyone, so new to forums obviously lol. Just picked up a 01 s4 1.8 yesterday. car has about 170k miles but have to admit it runs better and smoother then my rsx-s with 60k lol at anycase wanted to get people opinion before i start doing any mods to the car, plan on keeping exterior the way it is stock, but mod the engine. I've heard people having trouble with certain type turbo etc etc. So what i'd like to know is what brand should i avoid if any, also wanna get a bov, so any suggestion what be cool.

Blow off valves actually are possible to use on these cars. Whether if its cause you get it tuned for it, or just set it up correctly. I read an article on audizine about it. Pretty much, you just have to adjust the spring in the BOV to the toughest one and add a couple washers until you're car doesn't stumble at idle. I'll see if I can find the article. It was a good read. But, if you're not too worried about going strictly BOV, you can get a hybrid valve that has both a blow off for the "wapooooosh" sound you're after and also has a diverter valve to keep the car at stock setting.

The methods that you describe though, no, sorry.
In fact, I wouldn't take any of the advice you just posted besides getting a proper MAFless tune.
