turbonetics
 

is turbonetics a good brand to get a blowoff valve from. i hear it can be unreliable. but its the only blowoff valve for the 07 GTI and im not looking to get a universal one. thanx.

personally i love hks, but i believeyou gotta buy a bov kit, i have a greddy type s on my car right now, and that sounds good, but forge makes a bov for you car and that i would recomend, i looks stock so there are no warranty issues, hear a lot of good from people that have that bov.

blitz all da way bud serious stuff mate

does the 2.0T have a DV stock?

RE: turbonetics
 

they should, and i was about to say, i think a diverter valve is better suited for VWs and with an intake, you get a similar sound as with the BOV. might wanna se who makes a DV for an 07 instead, better for the engine. but its all up to you bro! good luck.

RE: turbonetics
 

yeah, DVs are better for these cars, Blow offs can cause the car to run rich (too much gas) because the computer expects a certain amount of air/pressure from the Diverter valve and doesnt get it when you release it to the atmosphere. (by swapping to a blow off valve) if you upgrade big and end up reconfiguring air fuel ratios then it might be worth it, but stock its only gonna give you a noise, possibly a CEL, and a rich mixture. Like fox said, with these cars if youre lookin for the sound, just put on an intake and it can be heard.
just our 4 cents

yea...four cents...thats clever! haha.

Turbonetics have good Turbos systems i believe they have quality Blow offs too it's my poinion OK

Hey just as an add on to Joe and Fox, they are right DV is best for the Gti. I bought and injen intake for my 07' and it sounds great with the stock dv. (with or with out load) if you are looking for a DV try hyper boost had one on my 03' and it sounded good.
