Blow Off Valve for the new Polo GTI released

[PoloGTi_15]

too bad its around $500, would've been interested if it wasn't a ridiculous price right now.

Does anyone know if this blow off valve is suitable

Would love the adjustable option

Blow off valves are not a good idea on these cars that have a diverter valve, there are many many threads about them and why they adversely affect performance etc.

If you're after the "pssstch" noise then maybe a supra or 200sx would have been a better choice... in all seriousness though, for the sake of a sound that leaves most people shaking their heads at you as you drive past, would you really spend $500 to make the performance of your car WORSE and more unreliable....?

My MY16 GTI already has a muted psshhht sound as it diverts the boost as stock. More than loud enough in my opinion

Thanks for the info guys will wait and see how the car goes when it arrives then go from there I thought $500 was a bit rich I might call the company that produce them and ask about the valves

Ok, just making sure you weren't putting one on a dsg, you may as well have just set 5 bills on fire if that was the case. Even so, the factory diverter valve with the GFB DV+ will be a far better solution IF you go to a stage 2 or greater tune, otherwise there will be no benefit at all, the factory one is that good.

Gavs, I've got full APR Stage 2 on my 6R Polo GTI. (7 Speed DSG)

I see the GFB DV+ stuff come up from time to time in threads and have always been in two minds.

DSG means not worth it in my case then hey?

The Forge BOV's have been known to give trouble (generally be unreliable) on the 2.0TSI engines found in the Mk6 Golf era vehicles. And the Forge intakes had huge issues with incorrectly sized MAF housings on the Golf R.....i wouldn't buy their products.

Keep an eye on CTS, Unitronic, GFB and Turbosmart as they make better quality stuff, and no doubt will have/already have some products available for the Gen 3 EA888 engine.

I have spoken to a vw tech and they said forge are the best aftermarket parts for vw he wouldn't buy anything but. I also asked him about other mods he said to go eibach springs and a milltek exhaust but I think I will wait til I get it to work out what I want to do

I dont agree with the comment about Forge being the best products in the business - most people i know with modified GTI's and R's do not use their products due to the issues i mentioned in my previous post. You can do as you please of course, but be warned.

Milltek exhausts are good but very expensive, and either Eibach or H&R are good for springs.

Thanks for your comments I appreciate the feedback

I second the forge comments, never known someone with forge stuff that hasn't taken it off....

The DV+ is completely different to what we're talking about here, it modifies the existing awesome factory diverter valve to stop it from bleeding boost in higher tuned cars. So with a dsg, speaking from personal experience the DV+ is a great mod...
