I'm thinking about getting a forge splitter because I want that blow off valve sound but still recirculation of air, what do you guys think? Any opinions on it or precautions? And I read somethin about not being able to use the same engine cover?

 

i have a splitter on my B5, idk how different the B6 engine is, but the valve is under the engine by the turbo outlet to the radiator. i dont see how it could prevent you from using the engine cover...

 

ya neither do I but I was looking at one on eBay and it said
I can't use the same engine cover due to heat in the description of the item so I was wondering what that was about

 

seriously... heat?, theres no difference from a regular DV other than it has a horn on it... who ever is selling it, is really retarted.. you should buy it from a retailer.. i got mine for only 160 at http://www.namotorsports.net/detail....t_cd/FMDVSPLTR

 

oh and i think i see what your saying, but it pertains to a B5 S4. cause the DV's are on the top of the motor

""These valves will work on the B5 S4, however, you will not be able to use your stock engine cover once they are installed due to the height of these valves.""

 

you would be fine with 1.8 motor

 

ohh that makes sense...cool

 

Once you pick it up, it would be a good idea to service it every other oil change.

 

what kinda service?

 

Grease the inside the valve (spring)
