Diverter Valve

[JustALilBit]

So ive heard that a blow off valve for a VW is a no go.
I was looking at concept1's website and saw a couple diverter valves.

Which would you recommend? I was looking at the eurojet and the APR valves, although another brand would be fine.
Thanks

I have a forge 007 and it's worked great so far. Super easy to take apart and grease and no CEL.

or buy the OEM 710n valve and your good too

Re: Diverter Valve

Would a diverter valve have the same effect as a blow off valve?
One of the reasons I was looking at the APR is the no maintainence thing. Im not to handy when it comes to under the hood

Re: Diverter Valve

They are all technically blow off valves, a diverter just recircs the blown off pressure back into the intake, so not to upset the MAF.

Re: Diverter Valve

Weren't you the one that said this in your FS MK4 Tailights thread?

I yet again appreciate all the helpful advice I get from the eurodrivers who know it all

If we don't know what we're talking about, why are you posting questions? Google it.

Thats what I had.
Works great and not to expensive, and sounds good as long as you have the intake

Re: Diverter Valve

Actually a diverter valve or Recirculation valve recirculates the air back through the turbo through a hole in the turbo wall. This in turn allows the turbo to spin up quicker, and eliminate a bit of lag.

Re: Diverter Valve

I do have a CAI. Thanks for the help. Ill give C1 a call and see what they say.
MoreSpeed - I was refering to those who think they know what looks best for a euro, like you

One other thing, If I were to get a APR chip, would I have to upgrade my downpipe? I have a 2.5'' catback exhaust right now

No for the APR chip, you dont have to upgrade anything, the only thing i advise is new coil packs, and spark plugs. But the down pipe makes a huge difference in power.
