what would you think about a blowoff valve? any opinions good or bad?

 

i have one its fine... youd be better off posting this is your vehicle section instead of off topic..

basically, if you get one, hks ssqv or forge 004

 

assuming that is the diverter-valve. i'd go w/ APR's (not to pimp them too much)

I have yet to replace my stock one, but when I do; I'm using theirs. The spring is super strong and stiff. I want to say they're like 85.00, but not certain. Let me know if you need more info.

 

Yeah, true, post this where he recommends. Us, dumb n00bs don't know any better. LOL. Get a mod to move it, whoever they are... heh...

 

^? what...

 

You'd recommended for him/her to post his or her question in a more specific sub-forum. I was recommending a mod move it to the more appropriate spot. I'm new so I don't know who the mods are.

 

oh ok, now i gotchya, sorry

 

no sweat.

 

BOV and diverter valves are 2 slightly different ways of doing the same thing. To my knowledge most (all) new audis dont like BOV's because they vent metered air to the atmosphere, opposed to recirculating it into the intake. Anyways you can still use one it just may make you run rich (too much fuel), destroy your cats (who needs em anyway?), and mess with your sensors (this one kinda sucks)

The HKS SSQV is the only BOV you should look at for your audi, people have found it to work best and cause the least problems.

As far a diverter valves, APR R1 valves are nice, Forge Valves are great. Anhting rebuildable.

 

Also the forge splitter BOV works as long as you set it recirc part of the air back into the system.
