Blow off valve, or diverter valve?

I have a 2001 gti 1.8T. I want the loudest blow off sound, but still want to reciculate the air like the stock valve. Does anyone know what would be the best way to go?

well your not going to have a super loud bov sound if u buy a recirc valve, but if you search google there are a couple of companies that sell hybrids, where half the air goes to the atmosphere and there other half is shot back into the intake

Buy a turboxs type S recirc valve (special for mittsus and vw's/audis) And then put on a short ram neuspeed intake.

If you want a louder sound, get any Cold air intake (they are all the same)

Our cars are not made to run BOV,so stick with a Diverter valve.

If you want a loud "whoosh" sound, keep the stock DV or buy a new DV and install it the same as the stock one.

If you want a louder "chirp" sound (JDM BOV Stylz y0!), buy a new DV and install it backwards. No, installing it this way will not damage your car.
