BOV fitted on GTI

[Alfy]

Has anyone done this? How easy/hard is the install??

What kind of BOV's am i limited to?

I'm looking at getting one just for the noise lol..

[ozgriff]

I think BOV that go to atmosphere, i.e. noise aren't legal. IMO are a bit 90's.

I'm sure there are plenty of garages/workshops that can do it for you, find one closest to you and ask them.

Rice? Anyone?

don't hate...

for what other reason would one get a blow off valve?

[Mischa]

now now its his car he can do what he likes bla bla etc etc dont make me ban you dave

i think the gti blokes go for a Forge diverter valve? i think its adjustable for how much gets blown into the atmosphere and how much gets recirculated. someone will chime in and clarify

forge diverter valve? never heard of it.. will be doing research on that though! thanks

Dong!

The forge valve in itself doesn't vent to the atmosphere, but they also sell an adjustable spacer which you can put with it to make "the noise". I'm not sure if you can just buy the spacer and use it with the standard DV.

You can get them at a good price from parts4euro in the US, with free delivery to Australia. That's where I got mine from - took about a week to arrive.

Apologies, Alfy ... bad day. No ... I've got a Forge Diverter valve and the reason I bought it is because it's a billet aluminium unit and contains no plastic parts (unlike the EOM unit) ... so it was mainly for long-term reliability that I purchased it.

It doesn't vent into the atmo ... so there's no "Pshissssst" noise ... but I do feel it improves the overall engine note of the 1.8T engine. (I'll try to behave in future ... happy, Mischa? )

sorry i dont have a forge yet

i fit just the forge spacer to my mk5 golf gti for noise it vents to atmosphere it doesnt upset the ecu because u still retain the stock diverter valve. I fit it myself it took about 15 minutes and all u need is some locktite and a 6mm allen key socket extension bar and ratchet very easy to install and i like the sound. But each to their own

Here's another option

Cheaper than Forge?

Wonder what VW would think about it in regards to warranty problems?

DSG fart + light bov noise would be kinda cool. I do admit I love hearing a light whoosh from the front end and the fart from the rear when it goes to the next gear.

Yep, damn that noise - it's so addictive but you're always speeding at the end of them...
