^^ = bad advise , dont get a blow off vavle for your audi, we have a closed loop turbo system where air is reciruclated (sp) and is not ment to be blown off into the atmosphere via a blow off valve. our cars come with a diverter valve or DV for short which is the audi verison of a blow off vavle, it recirculates air and does not release it into the atomsphere.

Bottom line, dont get a blow off vavle, they are bad for our cars. Search the archives on this one, this discussion happens allmost every day.

btw, i thought the 2005 a3 was made in a 2.0T. or are you from europe where the a3 has been out for a while?

we always say: better to much gas than too much air in the engine... you surely know of wasted engines becuase of too much air?!

i drive one from the manufactor "monza" in my 1.8t of my tt and i could not imagine be without it in future. the turbo hole is reduced and it sounds sooooooooooooooooo genious

not relly both thinks are relevant. But if you put too much fuel into the engine you damage the whole exust and can blow the fre@king thnk ou of the back.
If there is to little fuel and then you can melt the half the engine.
