Which stock parts do you still have? The recirculation question is pretty important as well. Also, do you have the VW badge for the front? it looks like it’s missing a tooth. ---

fmic intercooler, FMIC is not a brand it stands for front mount intercooler. Not to be hater but judging from your awesome ebay angel/halo eyes headlights, the most of the aftermarket parts on this car are cheap ebay garbage. If not please list the brands. I can seriously buy this car from you right now, but you are avoiding questions. ---

What did you do regarding the recirculation? Are you just venting completely into the atmosphere or does it recirculate like it’s supposed to? ---

negative on an idle control valve. Idle is controlled via throttle plate angle. And yes, the black plastic hose off of the intake in the 1st pic is SAI intake. ---

it is recirculating the way it is suppose to. Hps Intake pipe is for it to intake atmosphere air!!! Intercooler is recirculating properly…anyone can verify that justt by looking at the way piping goes… ---

here is a nice diagram how turbo works… ![http://engineerography.com/files/2009/04/howturboworks.jpg](http://engineerography.com/files/2009/04/howturboworks.jpg) Where it says Ambient air Inlet is where the car breaths (Intakes Air) —\> which is my HPS pipe Than the compressed Air from the turbocharger, goes thru the intercooler where it gets cooler and than it shoots up in to the intake of the engine its self… where it creates that combustion and makes the car goooo… “”“So air comes from the atmosphere, into the compressor (driven by the exhaust turbine), exits the compressor into the intercooler, then the cooled and pressurized air enters the cylinder where it is ignited with some fuel. It then leaves the cylinder as exhaust where it will spin the turbine for in order to compress more intake air. After passing through the turbine the air leaves the car through the exhaust pipe into the atmosphere.”""" Thats how turbo works…and thats how my car is set up… and thats why it is recirculating properly, i hope this helps straighten out the confusions ppl are having! ---

From my limited understanding of VW’s, to run a BOV and have it run properly you need a MAF-less setup/ECU. Anyone feel free to tell me I am entirely wrong… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2005-vw-gti-1-8t/158351.md?page=2)
