Title: BCS Automotive Gti MK7 Powervalve launch
Post by: Nige BCS on 26 November 2013, 09:52
Following on from the success of the Powervalve systems in the MK5 and MK6 markets we are pleased to announce the imminent launch of the Golf Gti MK7 powervalve system.
As previously supplied the options will be full TBE with a choice of 100 or 200 cell Motor sport cats or our basic sports (non PV) system which will be available as a full TBE or as a cat back.
In addition we can offer the downpipe and cat or cat delete option to mate to the stock cat back exhaust.
Cheers
Nige
BCS Automotive Limited

Nige is probably eating Turkey leftovers at the mo so I'm going to say what I know. My car will be going down to BCS on the 11th where they are going to draw it up and manufacture and test and generally work their magic. I expect my baby back 18th and I'm sure after there will be loads of pics and info on prices etc. All I know is its going to look sweet, something to do with the angle of the trims being perfectly in line!

Looking forward to this Graham. Any ideas on pricing?

Afraid I don't know mate, it is a different shape to the mk6 so it will probably be a bit more than previously. I'm sure it will still undercut what milltek are charging tho

Any idea Graham if they're likely to do anything for the GTD?

I'm sure they will do, perhaps you should give them a bell and volunteer your car for testing/drawing

Not a bad idea that! Any idea how diesels sound with a different exhaust? Never had a diesel before.

I've had a few decent diesels and tbh youre never going to sound like a petrol but you'll get a nice burble on tickover from the back and it won't sound too bad under full throttle. Don't the gtd's come with a sound actuator anyway? Combined with that it probably sounds good. There is also the performance gains as well from a less restrictive system :smiley:

Sound actuator is up for debate. Think there is something in the engine bay but nothing on the exhaust unless you've got a car built after BW45 and with the Exhaust sound package.

Ahh I see. I don't really know how my actuator works but I have two pipes that are behind the center console, they get very hot so I assume it's piping some exhaust through and out to increase noise. Burnt my hand On them running a power cable from the fuse box to the drivers side first day I got it :smiley:

Nige clear your PMs mate when you get a chance and let me know when you have please.

More likely to be coolant pipes to the heater matrix. I somehow doubt any manufacturer would run exhaust pipes (even for some form of sound actuator) through to the interior.

The sound actuator sits behind the bulkhead and is essentially a speaker.   Looks something like this;

Just wish i could figure out how it's wired in. Then i could put a switch on it!

Cheers for that Monsta. I checked that post out at the time you posted it. Just don't know if i dare rip the GTI apart  :undecided: Especially as i am awaiting the replacement!

I see, well that would explain why it sounds louder with the panels removed. Has it always just been a speaker I'm sure I've seen some blueprints for some fiddlyness being done to the exhaust route to make more noise?
