Where is the stock diverter valve located on the Mk7 Golf 1.4 TSI SE, 122PS version? I presume this is where the adaptor fits (same 3 bolt pattern), however, I am unsure as to where the actual stock diverter valve is.

Locate turbocharger, cold side- there will be intake hose, AFAIR there will be near it something with dimensions of ~one finger lenght and not-so 2 wide, connected with cable (two wires?) Unscrew it- do not lose screws (and do not throw anything in the hole, and don't leave dv valve hanging free- it'll catch dirt). Mount adapter, screw back tight with attached bolts (if there any). And it's all. You didn't need to unplug anything, but IF You would disconect battery- don't be afraid of check lights- ESP and steering will show up (ESP- after short ride will dissapear, steering- on engine on- turn wheel to the left and right limit- and it should dissapear after another on-off)

In video is showed where it's located. You're lucky- 1.4tsi have front-facing turbo with much space.;)

De nada.;]

I've just got back from garage from installing forge vacuum operated bov on 1.8. Pain in the ass.

Question- Friend asks for any information about adaptor. He got leon 5f with 1.4, and things about buying adapter. Any specific?
