Help deciding with parts for 99' a4 1.8tq

[infamousmdp]

Alright, im pretty sure i dont want to send my chip out an get it chipped because i can get very good deals on boost controllers an i would rather do that an save some money. So what i can get is a apexi boost controller and turbo timer for a good price, an i also want to get a blow off valve.....Does anyone know a site that sells blow offs for my car and also does anyone disagree with my decision...If so please tell me why because im new with audis an i dont want anything going wrong..


thanks

bov's do not work well on audi/vw's.. they're a closed loop system.. you'd be much better off getting a nice diverter valve..

im not to familiar with the dv's, all i know is that the loop the excess pressure back into, insted of pusing it out into the air, but will installation be any different and what about price range? and flanger adapter... will i need one?

also this may make me look extreamly childish but will it make the same pshhhh sound as a blow off would


thank you

On audi's, the DV will usually only make noise if the car is chipped or if it has a high flow exhaust on it. Then you start to hear the air blowing over the lip of the valve.
You can try a forge DV or some other aftermarket one, but if you want to go a cheap, but good route, go for a porsche DV. They have some downsides, but you can buy 2, almost 3 porsche DV's for the price of one aftermarket DV.
The downsides are that they are still plastic (still made by Bosch) so you can't rebuild/service them. (most aftermarket ones are metal) The actual flow rate through them however is very similar to an aftermarket one. Contact me if you are interested and I can tell you where to get one for cheap ($35.00 shipped). The porsche one seems to react faster than stock too, which is one thing you want to look for in a DV.

As for the boost controller, what I've heard is that with the boost controller, you have to do many more things to the car because of air/fuel mixtures and things like that.

Don't know what a "flanger adapter" is, but don't think you need to worry about one with a DV.

If you do some looking, you can find chips for fairly cheap. It is the first impression that makes them look so expensive.

Good luck with it!
