I am looking at getting a dv/bov... Now b4 The fire from within comes flying through the keyboard at me I have a few questions... But first yes i have read all or majority of all other bov/dv posts and i know a bov throws off the maf. It gives a false reading to the maf and then tells the injectors to release fuel to your engine which over time will F$*% up the engine...
So with that in mind... I am a fan of the pshhhh but i dont want to screw over my car (2000 A4 1.8TQ TIP--mods in the mail are--- Cone air filter (already installed), FMIC, Greddy TT, EVI systems package podi boost guage when it comes out) and manual boost controller...

As of right now I am looking at getting either a forge 004 dv..

or a HKS SSQV BOV check it out http://www.alteredatmosphere.com/mm5...Category_Code=



now reading up on this it seems like a dv and it wont effect the maf... also it says to have no boost... Will the HKS SSQV BOV work fine and properly???

Which should i go with??

Whats a good hybrid valve???



Go ahead attack tell me everything I Dont know- im a newb...

Its Appreciated

 

*no boost leak... in the hks ssqv bov

 

you need chaos or cincytt to chime in for sure but I think the Forge 004 and also one of the HKs can work just fine for our cars. Give you the big ol Psssssssh, and wont FUBAR the engine

 

just do an air box mod if you want the psssss sound, and stick with a forge 007 or 006

 

I've got a 004 on my b6 and it works OK, also HKS SSQV should be fine, cause it is in a closed position at idle.
You might run richafter installtill you rECU will "accept" it ))

 

both will work, but the 004 is a better bov for the 1.8t.

Also, if you really searched, you would of known that by now.

 

Audiprotein__How long usually does it take for the ecu to "accept" it.. bout a week?

Mr. Cap__I did away with the box and have the maf running to a filter it does pshhh when i release the throttle... Im not that worried about a little leak in boost or I would run strong with a dv with no question but if i was that worried about it id have a manual!!

 

Took me about a day.

 

I dunno, i guess it is different.
I dont know exactly how long it took me. When i just installed that, about 10 min later my exhaust got really louder/deeper (in a good way), then i think it got a little bit quiter or maybe i just got used to.
From what i've heard, usually takes a couple of days.

 

audiprotein-Do you have anymore pics of that car in your Avi.
