blow off valve.

Yes the one and only Wab.
Can of worms!
Tell me more.
Is this blow off valve !!cking my car?
I need to know.

i think it sounds good! certainly goes well,

personally id leave it on - if it aint broke dont try and fix it!

i fitted an atmospheric to my car no problems,

if you dont like it its just a case of replacing the pipe its welded to or pluging the hole, and re fitting the original plastic unit.

can of worms because of split opinions on here tho so your decision at the end of the day nothing wrong with the car - been well looked after by the previous owner!!

Thanks for the pm Wab.
I'm going to leave things as they are for now.
I'm not a big fan of the noise they make. The five cylinder engine alone does it for me.
Can you explain to me what is the advantage of having a BOV fitted to the RS2?
My biggest concern was that it might be damaging turbo/engine!
How did you know about my car? ie reg plate.

There's been loads of discussion about this subject, there's a recent thread just this week, http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17446
You could also try a search for dump valve or diverter valve.
