Exactly mate you hit the nail on the head!!!

can i say that that quote you got is very good P.R and great advertising gismo..... thers been a thread before about it i think? but anyway, in regards to correct functioning (lol) VAG have gone something really wrong somewhere..... as alot of turbo cars do.....

every turbo car comes with a recirc dump valve..... these are placed in because they are there simply to ruin your turbo.... its so the drivers have to buy consumables i.e a new turbo every year..... when they recirc, they force air more back into the turbo the wrong way, causing it to stall, lag, chatter and spin the WRONG way for a second or two.... this puts loadsa force on the turbine itself and even the housing, causing whichever to crack first......

i completely agree that it makes it run not as it should, as everything in modern cars is controlled by electronics etc....  but its only telling the engine is hasnt got enough air making it componsate for it with petrol! lol! so therefore runs rich and spits flames like a jet! this can be overcome buy fitting a CAI..... i think? BSC Hons Automotive design, thats what they taught me!

i dont want 2 offend anyone, but the myth id say is Boll*x..... if anything will break it'll be a sensor...... me thinks?

every 1 to there own and i dout u affenede any 1 lol i just think that wen u read god knows how many threads sayin a normal dv is not good that sways me slighty to puttin the rite parts on the car  but hay what works for may have not worked for me but will prob work for others  is ur car mapped sivleradobullet
or standard and have u just caped the air box side of the dv off

well i was in the same situation when i bought mine, didnt know what DV 2 go 2 , but asked a few of my mechanic mates and they said it was rubbish, and i believe it now....

on the metal pipe for the turbo, ive welded on the HKS DV and the rubber pipe which extends (normally) to the bottom of a DV is the pipewrok which recirculates back into the intake...... its a good setup!

it aint mapped (yet) and im running a Carbon Fibre K&N CAI, sounds beautiful.....

i guess its good 2 have it recirculated if there is a chance of it going wrong, id say its down to something else.... newer engines arnt toys and alot of people tinker with them and dont have a clue..... not saying you dont, just sayin there are other reasons for them to fail...

tbh m8 i have no fookin clue about these engines well turbos and the way they work to be exact altho i culd do most mechanical jobs my dad is a mechanic for god knows how many years and a mot tester  but he not to keen on workin on turbos either thats y i been listenin to what other people have said lol
its all good fun and a learning curve tho

[silveradobullet]

just rememeber..... "if it boost's into red, ya turbo's dead!" lol! 

[leeroy20vt]

Well it depends on which 1.8T engine you have.
The early ones IE: AGU (Non drive by wire) dont have a map sensor (http://autorepair.about.com/cs/generalinfo/l/bldef_495.htm) so you can get away with it to some extent.
Later one IE: AUM/AUQ Drive by wire DO have map sensors and Will go into limp mode and f*** up the MAF!!!

I think the forge 007p gives a nice sound which can be heard in the car a tiny bit and not outside. Its not too loud and OTT. But each to your own if eveyone was the same the world would be a boring place!
