If you want a new bov just for the sound get a Forge. You really don’t need one for that car unless you are pushing big numbers and even then you could just use a 710n diverter valve from an Audi TT. Sell your system and buy performance parts for the car. You will have a lot more fun, trust me :lol ---

ive got a Forge 007 Diverter valve i can sell ya. blow off valve on that car isnt a good idea. i used this valve on my old A4 and on my GTI, but ive exceeded its use with my setup. so its a shelf warmer now. let me know if youre interested. its polished comes with 2 springs and shims. id recommend not getting a boost controller either. get it chipped(apr, unitronic,eurodyne,revo, giac) whatever fits your needs really, but EBC or MBC when using the stock software is a bad idea. ---
