    Andy'll love getting up to the elbows in your old girl

    Another bad thing about a vent to atmosphere BOV with a MAF is that every time you change gear a load of fuel gets dumped into the cylinders resulting in bore wash which will do your rings no favours at all. Stick with a decent quality recirculating unit - if you want noise get an adjustable one and set it up so you get a bit of flutter at low boost, or spend a bit of time making some effective heat shielding around a cone filter.

      I had a GFB fully adjustable one fitted when I first put my S2 back on the road, it worked OK but I decided it was more trouble than it was worth and put a 710N back on. Plus I don't like the weight of most the aftermarket units hanging on the boost pipes. The best bet IMO if you want a bit of blow off noise is to either drill the crap out of the underside of the airbox or fit a cone filter and a load of shielding.

      I'd also replace all the small bore pipe in the engine bay with 4 mm Diesel leak off pipe as it's often the source of small boost leaks.
