If i was some dumb ricer kid and wanted to get the best price on go fast bits hybrid diverter valves. Where would i go. there websitew suggests $360 a piece or something, that seems rediculous to me.

 

I couldn't find 'em any cheaper than LLTEK...I have to say though. They claim the GFB's with their cold air intake increases power by 25hp and I didn't find that to be true. First I installed the BOV's and drove for a month or so...No noticeable difference. Next, I added the cold air and there was some difference (including a smoother engine). You see, the BOV's need to be nearly closed before the engine will stabalize. If you leave them open, you loose a TREMENDOUS amount of power. The end result was $720 for a blow-off sound.

NOW, since then I've chipped with APR. The difference is unbe-freakin-leeeeeavable. Additionally, I'm tempted to believe that the BOV's will assist in protecting my turbo's from overheating and blowing-up.

 

actually, the BOV's mess up the computer and make the car run rich. If you get some nice diverter valves, the turbos will run fine. I have learned that you cant ever say the term BOV in these forums with the closed loop audi turbos. It could make you run rich and thats never any good. just my advice

 

well you have to run a bov if you have a big turbo cause you have to get rid of the pressure somewhere. but im talking big turbo

 

Its not a BOV its a Hybrid BOV 50% recirculated 50% atmosphere!!

 

I believe Samco or Foge just came out with a Hybrid DV.

 

ONE THING THAT I'VE NOTICED WHEN SOMEONE ASKS FOR HELP IN CHOOSING ONE OR THE OTHER IS THAT NO ONE HAS ACTUALLY EXPLAINED THA DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THA TWO IS. I KINDA WANT TO KNOW. DV OR BOV

 

All caps isn't necessary, we can read your in lowercase without any issues.

Not totally sure what you're asking here. But, if you want to know the difference, BOVs vent boost out to the atmosphere when the throttle body closes (ie. when shifting gears) DVs work the same way, except boost is recirculated instead of being bled off.
