DO YOU NEED A BOV?

YES YOU DO, PLEASE USE THE STOCK BOV

DO NOT PURCHASE AN AFTERMARKET BLOW OFF, YOU DO NOT NEED THAT.



the only excuse is if your boosting over 20psi and your stock valve cannot handle it (even after crushing it to get it to hold more)

look into the Greddy type S, as the kit will route correctly back into your intake like it should and will not make you look like a jackass driving around and making a **** ton of noise (and killing your performance from running pig rich when you let off to boot)

we do not drive VWs

they are blow-offs (since you are blowing off the excess pressure back into the intake system)

For a second I thought this was another Gay Jeremy thread (I had misread the title as "Do I need a BOY?"). Then I read the thread and discovered it is another gay thread.

effin nubs dunt noe how to properly use a bov.
1) buy the louded bov...
2) if it has spring options, use the strongest (il explain later)
3) if it has washers to make bov piston have a harder pressure (use all)
4) no recirculation is best because our turbo sucks the air in and dont need all that rejected air.

Strongest springs and 6+ washers = best bov option. You get that echo whistle sound which means the air is not going into the intake tube.. its released at a timely matter... instead of bogging down by letting all that air out, you timely released the air and your car will pwn.

just because it is not in the technical section does not give the *******s in the forum the right to be a jackass to someone asking a legitimate question about his car.

if we want to start this game, I will start moving every and all threads out of this ****hole in a heartbeat.

Stock recirculation valve will hold more boost than the engine will.
