Default Blow Off Valve
I just recently purchased an 02' 1.8T Quattro A4 last week. I want to get either the Blitz or Apexi BOV. I need some information on how to install the BOV. If anyone out there knows how to do it I would greatly appreciate all the information that is needed for this procedure!!! Also, can I install a BOV on a stock intake system? Any help is appreciated! THANKS

BOV's are that practical without a bigger turbo (ie k04)...how about a BPV

Default You'll run rich. The vented air has already been read by the MAF so the ECU will dump too much fuel
in anticipation of the air that it isn't going to get.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct but i heard if you install the blow off valve after the MAF you won't be dumping as much fuel and running as rich as others say.
