1.8T? I've always heard a BOV is a bad idea, go BPV - forge

boost problem underneath it all

I have heard that too. I like the idea of the noise... not too important though. The problem is that I am leaking way too much boost. It sounds like a balloon when pinched. Also this morning on the highway I floored it in 4th and my rpms raced up but way too fast and my speed was not adequate.
I drive a 2001.5 1.8tqms w/apr 1 bar chip, cat-back borla exhaust, and lltek induction

Did it rev when you floored it? How old is your clutch? Just a thought...more

I don't have any experience with boost leaks so i don't know if you are going teh correct route.

it did rev when I floored it. The clutch has only like 30k on it. It was replaced by audi after someone towed my car and destroyed my transmission.

if you're having boost problems why would you put in a BOV?

besides, if you're only doing it for the sound, just get an aftermarket DV and an intake.

Is it still under warranty? Can you take it in and have it checked?
