thanks for the respose guys

I just wish I could hear it a little more.......... maybe an aps kit might help............

so how does it go when asking the missus?????.....it will use less fuel dear.....promise!!!!!

On my Auto T, you definately hear something when you quickly back-off the throttle. But I am not convinced that it's the BOV. It certainly does not sound like a sneeze, more like a Rattle Gun.

Is this the BOV or the wastegate closing???

Thanks

Damn...you learn something every day. I thought a blow off valve prevented you from sh*tting your pants after eating too many onions at a Barbie :wacko:

Actually the standard BOV is loud, I've made mine go off louder than most other after market ones.

How do you make the standard Bosch BOV louder? Is it as simple as disconnecting one of the air hoses?

Pretty much, block the return hose and vent the bov. To prevent it from sounding sh*thouse put a mini breather over the end or what I did was a rubber stopper with a hole drilled in it. Works a treat.

Pics Please!!? Sounds like fun, Mine will make a little noise if I lift off the throttle mid boost-especially in first (auto) from the lights.

This is not mine, but same setup.

Do a search dude, there is a bunch of in-depth posts about modding the BOV, like the chair-leg cap mod XRTPSI is talking about. Pretty idiot proof instructions on how to do it all

[Dillz]

Yeah but they don't tell you how much of a pain in the arse it is to get the pipe back into the front of the turbo, pissed on sunday afternoon.
