WHY?

It makes your golf sound like a Scania when you change gear - save your pennies and invest it in optimax.

When you say "better" what do you mean, more noise or more power?

If it's the former I really think you're possibly driving the wrong car...............:wink:

As nelsoni says there are better things to spend your money on.

the 2.0T FSI uses a diverter valve NOT a dump valve, it recirculates the air rather than dumping it to the atmosphere. search for information in the mk4 and garage sections on dump valves vs diverter valves, ive explained it in there a few times. an uprated diverter valve is never a bad thing, its more of a "upgrade when the old one breaks" kind of thing though.
