Does anyone know if it is alright to remove the Stock blow off valve?? On my 240 i know its alright to an extent to take it off but i dont know much about german cars..?? anyone help please ..


BTW - i am new here

 

Please, search the archives, you will learn everything you would ever want to know about diverter valves.

 

ahh no not this question agaon[sm=icon_beat.gif] see it at least once a week

 

Just to clarify, Audi's do not come with blow off valves. They come with Diverter valves (by-pass valves). Now search young grasshopper.

 

Jest, is hx a good brand for my new dv

 

How muc hdid you pay for your stoptechs??

Im putting a down payment for some Brembo's pulled of a turbo carrara

 

Just get the one that comes off the TT. Thats what people seem to recommend.

 

By removing you mean leave off?!? Or are you talking about replacing or making it an actual BOV?

Your question is not that clear. If you have a 240 using a certian Bypass or BOV you hould already know this answer.

 

i Mean completly removing the diverter valve?... In my 240 removing the bov allows for the fluttering sound to be made and increase performance of the turbo but, it leave the turbo more vulenerable to blow. I wanted to know if removing the valve for the audi would also create a fluttering sound?

 

I would not recommend the removing of the valve. It was placed there for a reason. What happens to all the compressed air that is not used once the TB is closed. That fluttering you hear could very well be compressor surge and that KILLS turbos. Plain and simple.


The flutter noise can be achieve through another type of Bypass. HKS makes this noise while keping the flutter noise you like. If they do not have an application for your car you can get a universal and find a way to use it.
