Default blow off valveis it good or bad..read on.......

Did you see the June 2001 Max Power magazine because there is a 2000 Audi A4 running a HKS blow off valve....I thought it wasn't good to run one and plus in the Audi tuning section towards the back of the magazine they show the Split Secong boost controller and the SPW blow off valve kit........whats up with that i thought it wasn't good for DBW Audi's....any suggestions about this

Default the valve was either too stiff (would not release) or too soft (couldn't hold boost) i messed ......

with the vacum screw, and it was just too much trouble. so i switched to a forge and it has better boost holding ability, louder sound and it looks stock too (i got the "stealth" valve)

the old GREDDY-type-s made a spitting sound (pffwhawwwwwk-toooowsssshhhh)

the FORGE sounds like pssssshhthhssssshhhh

sorry for the lame sound interperitations (sp?)
its late and im tired and drunk
