sounds dirty. what do you have to do to install somehting that bov? is there some computer shit you have to change or what?

[laurent345]

Direct fit. No wiring involved.

[kiddkaprii]

will a universal BOV work on the stock 1.8t??

[laurent345]

no it will pop a code since you don't throw any excess boost back in the intake

[wlfpacknwo]

bov doesnt do anything in gas cars either.

...says the maverick mechanic. Look, go back to driving those rented Mercedes and Bentleys, you obviously don't know nothing about engines, you just drive luxury cars at the parking / resataurant / dealer you work at and you think you're cool. And if you want to know what BOVs do, just read my other comments, I explained it there.

thats right leave this idiot alone !!!! ya mann nice setup!!!

[laurent345]

But on the other hand, the sound of a V6 with an exhaust is really nice too!

Hahaha never thought the passat would get so many views! God knows what this car has lived through.

Its an old video and this is my new account. Thanks for the 135000 views.

I would just like to mention again that this was NOT a full blow-off valve. It had a knob on it where you could adjust how much air was venting outside. You could either adjust it to full recirc, or 50% outside, and everything in between. We know (we even knew back then) that on all MAF-equipped cars, it will fool the ECU if you vent all the boost outside. No need to say it again.

Thank you and happy new year to all.

i put a bov in my passat but its not working...please help

[LoDtony450]

the 1.8t was designed for Diverter valves a BOV will make you run rich

[jomp3]

That's not good for your engine and turbo.Yeah, its sounds cool.But Vw/audi stock turbo and ecu is not designed for it.I did the same on audi a4 ,but i got messages/codes on the ecu.Please take out and replace it with recirulating bov,That's why VW putted in there in the first place.Try for exampel forge 007 or forge splt-r.

@laurent345 is it diesel =?

[MarijaSereda007]

fucking stupid babay....engine sounds like a need new one....put blow off valve in your as,sound will be better:D

[kenjoje]

haha morons just play with unreliable engine itself and you'll sonn looking for a new engine

[david603]

A diverter valve is a valve that opens when the throttle body close and the turbo is still spooling to recirculate the air into the intake to avoid turbo damage. The blow off valve does the same thing but let the air out instead of recirculating it. Their ain't any better valve. The only difference is that you may experience a bit less lag after a shift with a DV because your turbo may have lost less momentum. Also, at idle a BOV is opened and sucks in unfiltered air and possibly debris...
