So, why would you want to disable your BOV? Isn't this designed to relieve potentially damaging pressure build up under undesirable engine load times?
A couple of weeks ago I used the exact same method except instead of a bolt I used an aluminum spacer of the correct diameter and length from the hardware store. Worked like a charm. I also screwed the wastegate closed on my K14 and the boost jumps right up to 17 psi. What a joy, except now I'm having tranny trouble. :cry:Andrew
I thought vw probably put it there for a reason
so by disabling the BOV, you get more boost?
So if i did this to a very very stock 1.6TD, what exactly would be the outcome?
so since stock boost is below the release valve of the bov, there is no familiar air discharge that is common with turbo cars right? So by adding more fuel and therefore increasing boost above the specified 12-13 psi, the bov would then acutally be used, and that sweet sweet sound of a bov would be heard?
