In a word - NO. A few have reported doing it successfully but the engine is not designed to run an atmospheric dump valve. It will be interpreted as a boost leak and it will cause no end of problems. You can have a 50/50 atmos/recirc valve but the general consensus is that its not worth the effort for the sound produced. If you want a louder "pshhht" sound, but an open cone air filter induction kit and a piston type recirc valve like a Forge 007P. You will never get jap turbo type dump sounds from a 1.8T

ok lol no one told me!

Edited to be slightly more hepful above.

 

[DannyC87]

he is right, but as said a big open cone and a 007p can sound good enough

i have amd's open cone filter thast sits right down the lower left front behind the wheel arch and 007p also just removed the sound proofing from the bonnet gf / mates seem to think its pretty loud.

Heard that the loudest one thou is the turbosmart dual port there is a word after turbosmart that begins with a k just cant put me finger on what it is but im sure someone will be able to tell u should you need to no sorry.

go with the forge spilt r they work well if you have it set up right.

 

[jamiebennett81]

if you must have a wooshy noise.....then fit a Carbonio induction kit, the most atmospheric sound you will get and sounds great

 

[LEE69]

Yes you can, been running mine nearly a year now with not one error code.

I use a GFB 50/50.

Split-R will make a bit of noise but they can be a pig to set up, A remap and either an open cone filter or modded airbox will help make more noise.

The Forge valve 007P is great on your 1.8T
http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=1703&product=FMCL007P
This type of valve is a single piston , single spring diverter valve, it is
silent in operation.
It locates in the same position as your original black plastic Bosch valve ,
It will not give you any issues or check engine lights .

The Forge 007P valves are a two piece valve which are serve and guaranteed for


or we have the Split R
http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=1703DV&product=FMDVSPLTR
The Split R valve design will automatically keep the MAF and ECU happy with regards to fault codes. It has a restricted Atmospheric port to the correct percentage for this reason.

The choice is yours they both work well
