well i have one. it hasnt gave me any problems yet. it helps for the blow off sound. but i think its great. i have not dynoed yet so dont know what type hp i...
When you say "helps for the blow off sound" do you mean, you can hear the whistle it MORE or LESS? Personally, more is good. I was disappointed to read the new...
yes thats what i mean. if you have a good bov. then you will here it. Skip Slack <skip_slack@...> wrote: When you say "helps for the blow off sound" do...
i have the greddy bov and it sounds great...i know that they tell you that you have to recirculate the air but i didnt and it sounds really good... HENRY...
Hey guys, cool group (I recently joined). Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is a "diverter valve" the same thing as a "blow off valve"? I've seen...
They are the same thing. However, the street will usually say: BOV = atmospheric DV, or psssst psssshhhtt DV = recirc type only, no intended outside sound....
They are NOT the same thing. You even posted the difference yourself. VW's and Audi's, unlike most other factory-boosted cars, are designed so that the excess...
Pressurized intake air is not recirculated to keep the turbo spooled, it is done for emissions. Recirculating the pressurized intake air has no bearing on...
I stand corrected. It just goes to show that there's a lot of (dis)information out there. That was my understanding of the purpose of a DV, but I obviously got...
I just priced parts from the dealer for a timing belt and tensioner ($163) for my 2001 Jetta 1.8t. Can anyone tell me their experience from doing this job?...
Is that for just parts or labor included? The problem with this motor is it is very much an interference motor. When you are done doing the timing you will ...
That price was just for parts. Although a private shop quoted $100 for the same. I am fine with hand rotating the motor. How much stuff do I have to move out...
I have no experience doing timing belt on 1.8t but it was standard practice on all older VW engines (I've done this on a 16V) to replace the water pump during...
if the water pump is changed make sure you get the metal propeler mod - the stock plastic ones get brittle ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
A couple of questions that experts here definitely have answers to: a. I have been shopping for a decent turbo timer to spool down my turbo. However, I met...
Hello all, my first post in this forum so i dont know if this has been covered. i have a 98 passat an i just blew my turbo...(yea it sucks) i was just going...
I started looking at the bentley for this job and it says you will need to lift the engine due to it's placement. If that is the case, you should probably do...
I saw that too, what a pain, I wonder if you really need to lift the engine... ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of...
I seriously doubt it. You don't always have to follow the Bentley. It is just a guide. There are shortcuts but you will probably have to work from the wheel...
I'm looking to read the trouble codes (engine light on) in my 2001. Has anyone bought this interface and used it with Ross-Tech's free software? Dual-K (KKL)...
