GTI MK7 BOV

[Daks]

I'm not sure - I think it's that velocity stack that gives it the excessive noise. so if V1 has it, should be on par?

Given the number of people I've read having success with the Forge BOV it was probably something else that was the source of the problem.

it was proven fact the Forge was in fact not working correctly...the piston faulted as well as the internal spring...all im saying is nothing worked correctly besides the stock DV and being at the power level I am...I wouldnt go wasting money on noise makers...but thats my opinion and everyone is different...maybe youll have better luck than I did

Darn my clips broke on the stock air-well lip on the front of the vehicle. Guess I have to spend $350 on this IE v2.... what a tragedy.

Similar issue with me, the stickers for the A/C and certifications on the OEM intake are all peeling and stuff, I had no choice but to buy an AMS intake, it was super sad

If the piston or spring were faulty that's a specific defect in the product you had, not a design problem with the BOV that led it to perform worse than the stock DV.

Doesn't matter. The stock DV is the best one.

Yeah, I've seen that comment made a few times. What makes the stock DV best? I'm using the Forge BOV and don't notice any problems. I still have the stock DV and don't mind re-installing it to look for a difference. I have an AP so I can log the different parts. What should I log to see where the stock DV outperforms the Forge?

Did you get a custom tune for the bov? If not log your fuel trims after upshifting. You’ll notice they’re gonna be loose. You should also notice a loss of acceleration after an upshift. I’m referring to a bov the vents to atmosphere

I'm repeating what I've read in the forum from guys who know. Also I rarely see anyone post a problem with the stock DV but I see problems posted for a lot of the aftermarket DV 's. I've seen so many responses to people to just put the OEM DV back in when they reported a problem.

This is the case with every single platform that recirculates boost

dude has a problem. Posts it up. Told to go back to stock by pass valve. Problem vanishes. I’ve seen this in about 7 different platforms

Yup - it was the same on the MK6R. I put the DV+ thing in for noise, started having issues - called UM, they were like: take that shit off, I did, and things were wonderful again.

Same with the type r. Veloster n. R. Mazda speed 3 and 6. Sti. Wrx. Ecoboost mustang. Focus RS. Focus st. Etc etc

yet people still go out and swap it.

It's the WOOSH.

My buddy had a turbo MR2 with the 3SGTE and he had the HKS BOV on it. Man, whenever that thing would release it was literally like a slap in the face. When we were kids, we'd just drive around slapping people with the BOV.

Nobody has an issue with an aftermarket DV, until they do...

Ran a BOV on my previous car, a 16 GTI 6MT. Sounded great but spit crud all over the back of my engine. Transient response went to shit, plus the loss of boost on shifts. Would not recommend.
