Hello , is it possible to install a blow-off valve to a 1.6 MK7 TDI? Any usefull links / tips. Has anyone done it?
Also if you could send me a video to hear it that would be awesome. Right now my car has air intake (K&N filter)

Here is a random blow off that i saw on the internet

it doesn't have a throttle plate, there's not much of a reason to put a BOV on a diesel.

I know that i will see no difference in the engine, it's just for show off (sound) .. Other than that, can i install it ?

No, well you could but it would literaly do nothing, as stated there is no throttle plate snapping shut so no need to vent excess pressure.

Straight pipe exhaust on a TDI will make all kiinds of turbo noises, my MK4 has a tune and straight pipe egr/cat/muffler delete sounds great.

Is it possible? Yes. Worth doing? No. I could install a blowoff valve on my weed-whacker if I wanted to but it won't do anything

I d love to see a video of that.. Mine is really quiet atm even though i have an air intake.. You ll just hear some pressure at low rpm. I cant straight pipe it from the Downpipe cause of the dpf.

I mean, you could, lmao. Turbosmart has a bov controller, it uses throttle voltage to pop the valve open, that may work.
