So, if you recall I took the car in to have the bypass valves replaced. The condecending service advisor who challenged/argued with me about it being the valves found that the bypass valves were indeed defective.

Wha?

So you mean to tell me the complaint I brought the car in for was actually the problem, just as I suggested? Hmm, imagine that.

Car is running much better! Turbo lag begone!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1335699.phtml">Original post</a></li></ul>

the ones that you mentioned in your tech article....I was thinking of buying them based on that, but now you're not running them? What's up?

TIA

I got a 2002 (returned my 2000) car so my car basically went back to stock at that point and I have not put BPVs back on. From what I've experienced, piston-type valves require regular service to keep them working properly (cleaning and re-greasing the o-rings) and I don't want to mess with it.

Good job Don, put them in their place - let them see the error of their ways
