Forge 007p if you dont want the noise - forge split - R valve if you do :afro:

the noise is good, if you get a cone filter you get 2 noises with the split r too but I have had problems with mine of recent, so if you want to buy mine off me (in black, 3 weeks old pm me)

More noise... more turbo lag... more chance of wearing out your turbo!!!

I'd recommend a diverter valve which rids the lag but also the noise!!!

Baileys are sh!te!!!  :laugh:

I know exactly what you mean mate, I love the sound. The problems im getting at the moment is a fault coming up on vagcom saying something like check line from throttle to dump valve and it puts me in limp mode, once the fault is cleared im back to boosting again, it only happens when I run the dv on part recirc, part dump with the clicker at the top of the dv completely turned anti clockwise as far as it'l go, I might need to have it on 20 clicks on something instead
