i didnt think the tsi twin charged unit could take a bov, somethin to do with interupting the circulation of air before it gets to the super charger

 

[techie]

It can't, that's why I asked.

 

[FR_POWER]

thats sooo gay!

I've just emailed them about it to see if it actually fits or are they just misleading customers.

Here is the forge on an S3 and the Boc so it can be done. Not sure what effect it has other than for sound purposes.

isn't that the spacer? sounds sooo disgusting! i like the s3 one tho sounds sexy!

 

[techie]

Both spacers. The 1.4 and 2.0 engines use a similar system where n249 is a solenoid valve mounted in the turbo. The s3 however is mounted remotely.

 

[mardon]

I hear it is a complete ball ache to install on the 1.4TSI.

 

[techie]

It's a challenge, no where near as bad as a supercharger coupling, now that was an arse.

 

[dan_wilson87]

yeh spacers are crap, they sound shite nothin compared to a proper bov, so techie was i right in thinkin tht it will be impossible for a bov to ever go on the tsi 1.4

 

[techie]

Im sure it could be worked someway but wouldnt be easy thats for sure. The valve is now a solenoid not a vacuum operated piston/diapragm.

As for sounding poor, we shall see.
