Can you install a bov into a b7.

[blackb7]

I just got the 2.0T, I was wondering if it is safe to install an hks bov into my engine. I was told that it is safe as long as it is hooked back up to the intake. Is this true?

If it plumbs back into the intake, I don't see why not. Any reason you don't just run a normal BPV? If it's for the sound, it's not worth it. An EVO DV sounds nice with an intake.

Take a read of this article on VWVortex:

Good technical stuff (http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1422108&page=1)

If I read that correctly....

"DV is electrically operated and attached directly to compressor stator, so no more DV diaphragm rupture BS or hose leak!"

This engine, if I read that correctly, is definetly not designed to use a BOV.

Personally I never understood why people installed BOVs on a 1.8T.....

i am running a GFB bov/bpv in my B7 right now...the sound is wayyy softer than my B6s and doesn't even blow-off at low RPMS...

Read that link I posted in my reply above, the ones for the 1.8T will not work for the 2.0T.... the diverter valve is now electronically controlled and I don't think it's a part you can easily replaced now.
