They all come to us for over boost codes or melted Cat Converters. Or in one case the aftermarket valve they put in released so much boost that the car had no boost left when you went to take off. It was clearly just there to make the Psssst noise. <br /> ~<br /> Make sure you see your dealer for the Q8 headlight plug recall, and the "pressure regulating valve" bulletin. Oh and VW cat converters list at $700.00 for BPY engines, and will not be covered under warrenty for a chipped car. Just letting you know from expierence. </p> </div>

True ^ The car is a MAf based system and does require a DV as opposed to a true atmospheric BOV. Essentially this motor requires that air is recirculated back through the turbo system as opposed to vented into the atmosphere.

I’m assuming your GTI has a MAF-based system, which is why you require a diverter valve as opposed to a true blow-off valve.

My Duster is a MAP-based system, so I used a blow-off valve vented to the atmosphere.
