It regulates the car dumping the air through the dump valve. If you have it you will see a resevoir ontop of your number 4 coil pack. The bypass removes it from the car so that it dumps the charged air as soon as you lift off the throttle. Have a look in the mk4 maintenance section and there is a right up on it. I used 4mm vacuum hose. 2 meters of it to do the bypass. I don know what the benefits are but it dumps charged air better  :grin:

I think that if the ecu decides to it can open the DV at anytime thus loosing boost so getting rid is best!!!!

Lol yeah and like ive said its what forums r for. At the end of the day iv just got the car, i dont know much about um and the car has a few problems.
Plus the car already has coilovers  :wink:
If u aint got anything constructive to say then dont bother. If it wasnt for this forum id still have a blocked pick up pipe and oossibly  a seized engine. When my golfs got no problems and is how i want it ill stop writing so much. U dont have to click on my posts, u choose to.
