My chattering just got increasingly worse, & the car seemed to keep getting more & more sluggish. Had it swapped under warranty, though, so even VW techs agreed. :laugh:

This is the one I've got ^^^^^, but i think you can get it cheaper elsewhere, though.

Ask for a length of silicone vaccuum hose to go with it, though, as your OE one will more than likely be brittle/cracked/holey & will be a bugger to get it to slip over that top connection piece of the Forge.

Try Awesome & VW Speed for prices.

The recirc valves are not designed to "chatter", although they will make a bit more with an induction. if you want loads of noise then buy the one in the ebay link above, that will make loads of noise :grin: :grin:
