I just acquired my gti and am sooo happy with it. Anyway, I am dying to hear my favorite sound in the world. I have seen plenty of info about the forge DV and I have heard of people using the HKS SBOV. How difficult is the install of this BOV, since it replaces the stock valve? Also, would it be just as beneficial to just go the easier route and use the Forge DV? I just placed my order for an apr chip, TBE, and intake; so I am more inclined to upgrade the valve before I start the rest of the work so i don't blow anything. Any advice is much appreciated.

Use this button:

IMO- go with the forge unless you want to deal with check engine lights.

I did search, I found a plethora of info on the Forge unit but no info on the install of the HKS valve. I digress, will most likely order the forge valve seeing that most people on this site love it and have not had any CEL's

HKS is an awesome valve.....It just doesn't like the VAG. GTFLY hasn't had any CEL's that he knows of from it, I have and currently do.

I like the HKS but the FORGE is going to be what I run as soon as I can get one.

Call me a CEL hater 'cause I am

How does he not know if he has a CEL? Is his light disabled?

GTfly may have a CEL, but probably not because of the HKS valve.

I think I interpreted that correctly.

Hey guys thanks about the info on the HKS valve. I really appreciate all the info and opinions.

No he always has a CEL because he removed his CAT....kinda scary to always roll around with a CEL.

Yup...you got it. Sorry, I didn't mean to be so ambiguous.
