cool thanks for the site

My only question would be does it effect the onboard computer. Does it produce any errors or check engine light problems? If not, it sounds pretty nice and would definitely be on my list of things to do.

 

[GTI2007]

According to people on http://www.golfmk5.com/forums/ they don't have any error or CEL problems after placing the BOV.

I thought it would sound alot louder. Is there a diverter value that makes the ping not the swwishhh

 

[MKV32090]

I think it sounds awesome... id just like to see a video of some one really stepping on it to see how loud it really is.

 

[blackgti06]

yea i'm prob gonna get it anyway just wanna make sure its the best one out there.

Am I missing something here with these valves? Does it have any performance improvement or is it just strictly for the sound???

 

[blackgti06]

No performance at all just sound.

 

[DrJones]

The BOV, does perform a function, but the sound isn't necessary. It's just so fucking rad.

 

[blackgti06]

The BOV has a nice sound to it. Specially people who dont know the car is turbo you can set it off and they would be like dam. I dont have one yet but im def gonna get one.

 

[GTI2007]

I'm also gonna get one on my future GTI. I really love that blow off sound.

My GTI makes a hissy noise at high RPMs. That's normal with a turbo, right?

 

[blackgti06]

not sure mine make a swish cause i have an intake in it.

that's the stock wastegate bleeding off excess boost so your engine doesn't explode before your warranty expires. If I recall correctly, Forge used to make an adjustable BOV with different springrates to regulate how long the system will build boost.

cool is it worth getting

Bit late - I have the Forge Blow-off valve was great for about 3- 4 weeks now; i'm so pissed off with it that i'm taking it off.

Anyone want to buy it from me? are more than welcome!! ?20 and its yours call it ?5 for postage too. (its ?50 from www.awesomegti.com)

It's ok sounding i do love the TISShhh but some times i don't want the TiSHHHH - but alas i still get it.....

I'd say forget the Forge.. get the NEUspeed Induction Kit.... now that sounds better!

 

[blackgti06]

You know they have the same one you got but you can adjust the sound to loud, normal and slient.
