Tried searching it but couldnt find the thread on this forum

Turbo diesels don't have/need diverter/blow off valves and fitting one would reduce performance and possibly damage the turboResident grumpy old fart

adrian,
you cant have a BOV. Diesels don't use a throttle body, so they are not useful or even implementable.
Perhaps your mechanic can install it somewhere (glovebox perhaps) but thats not likely what you're after.'07 Touareg V6 TDI with air suspension
