Blow off valve vs Diverter valve
Hey I just bought a 2001 audi a6 2.7t and was wondering if i should get either the diverter valve upgraded or get a blow off valve? and what kind? i want it to sound real good.

i'm not sure if you know how the ME7 programming works, but the diverter valve is the only way
that you should go with that particular engine management system. It doesn't cater well to losing metered air to the atmosphere, i.e. through a blowoff valve, as the diverter valve keeps the air in the system. If you were get a stand-alone engine management system, then yes, by all means, run blow-off valves.
If you are looking for a blow-off valve sound, may I kindly suggest an Evo or an Sti.

Re: Blow off valve vs Diverter valve
Do a little research on this motor. It's recirculating boost system. It does NOT vent to atmosphere. The blow off is being redirected back to the intake where you can barely hear it.
If you want the blow off sound buy a SRT4.

The board is subtly trying to tell you....
To get diverter valves, yes, 2 of them, as in twin turbo engine. If you want some riced out piece of crap then by all means butcher away with a blow off value but don't complain about the crap performace. If you want REAL performace mods, get upgraded DV's (notice plural).

They are subtle but fast, that is the beauty of them
Audi's are a delicate balance of PERFORMANCE and LUXURY, that is what makes them unique. You may want to investiate some of your mods before doing them. If you upset that balance, things get very expensive very quickly.
