so it just makes the throttle a bit more responsive? and risk of anything exploding..?

AFAIK, the AGU/ARZ doesn't have have the N249 valve, so this mod just makes the AUM/AUQ function in the same way.

The valve allows the ECU to open the DV at any time rather than allowing it to open habitually.

Bypassing the valve makes the DV more responsive, and the boost curve more smooth and progressive.

It's clearly been put there for a reason, but the fact that the earlier Mk4s did without the valve is reason enough for me to bypass it!

I've not experienced, or read of anyone else having problems as a result.

I'm not sure which engine codes have them, but if you've got the N249, you will also have a vacuum reservoir covering your 4th coil pack/spark plug.
