Default Chips, BOVs!

Hey everyone, i'm new to this, and i'm not that familiar with turbo engines. I have a new b7 a4 2.0 cvt...and loving it! i ran a 0-60 time in tip. and sport at about 7.5 sec, which is pretty damn good compared to my old rx8 that ran about a 8. So does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of chips or BOVs i should get for my 2.0, and how much power increase i would expect? Thanks for your help!!!

No need to yell. They say the stock DV (no need to get a BOV, but you can run one) will eventually 'tear' under the stress of the chip's improvements.
Just off the top of my head I want to say APR ~ 249hp 289tq I think the tourque might be higher....

So what replacement DV is recommended? One that will not "tear"?

People say you need to get a PCV valve. The stock DV will be fine but if you feel like you must have one then you should get one.

people are blowing there stock DV, it just takes a little longer than it use to. If you plan on modding your car, chiping, exhaust etc, its a good idea to replace your DV because the stock one will tear on you at some point I don't think a Blow Off Valve working iwth our engines, jus the standard Diverter Valve, forged makes a good one.

does a chip void the warranty?

Depends on your dealer really. I haven't heard of anyone getting it voided, but you can always buy 'lock out' so the dealer cannot tell.
