DV questions

[03CrysBlueB6]

tried searching but with no luck. i tallked to my local shop and i told them yeah im looking to replace my dv and honestly i would like a little "whoosh" or "psh" and they said dv should not make noise?? is that true??

are there any DV's out there that are safe to run off of our engines and stock turbo that can make that noise? also i dont mind adding an intake tiher.. what do you guys suggest. they suggested an R1 but there have only been "so-so" reviews about that.

Couldn't have searched too hard... this is on the main page.. about 7 posts below yours at this point: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=212446

If you want sound, your going to need two to three things.

Chip + intake + DV

I have a video if you want to see how mine sounds, but its not the best of videos.

I have a carbonio intake with a forge 007 installed in reverse and its perfectly safe to run this way.

[03CrysBlueB6]

yeah let me see the link to the video! thanks

I first noob mod was the Evoms intake and it will give you the sound you crave... you can hear the car drawing air in as you shift throught the gears... I have the 007 Forge DV but installed the normal direction. The chip isn't going to give you any sound but will make the car more enjoyable to drive... beware though, once you chip you will want more...

^you will always crave more power [q the tim taylor manly grunt]

i personally after reading everything....twice! i ended up buying the R1 and the stage 1+ software, and love it. all i have for an intake is a k&n drop in but when boosting at around 20psi i can here it a bit. i am currently working on a new intake so i should here it no problem. also the R1 helped by driveability big time. it is a very fast acting valve.

pondside is right, i bought the stage 1 chip on a saturday, stage 1+ a week later and now i am upgrading the turbo...chipping is the gateway drug of tuning!

[03CrysBlueB6]

yeah i know i know... there is nthing wrong with craving more though!! still waiting on that video clipQ i jsut want something that sounds nice.. but isnt going to harm my car

[pondside36]

Check Youtube there are a few different clips on BOVs/DV/intakes on our cars..

[AudiBama]

I started with the R1 with the APR Stage 1 but i was like you and wanted a little more sound...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=o6X95jDZ2VM

thats a clip of the Forge SPLT-R dv/bov i bought. it recirculates air and releases it atmospherically so you get the sound and performance. this clip was made with the stock airbox

[A13ART]

i sorta bootleg mine i gues but this is a very ceep way to get that sound u want i bought a cone filter and connected it to the maf to tip u get the nice sucky sound with a load coughing noise i will go take some viedo and post them for you

^^ not bad, looks real similar to my overpriced EVOMS but you may want some sort of heat shield and remove the old air box

[A13ART]

yea i will probly buy some pipeing and move it alittle more but i was planning on buying or making the heat sheild that is realy good but i was impressed on how lou my dv got and the amount it sucks for such low boost the rest of the air box is there cuz i sill conec the ram duct so i stil lget cold air from the wind force i hope this picture explains it

[A13ART]

here is what it sounds like in side not bad for stock dV

Chip=more boost. More boost=more air to get out. More air = more sound

[03CrysBlueB6]

is that a safe way of doing it? putting a filter on the MAF will it throw codes?

[03CrysBlueB6]

has anyone else ever done that? i dont want ot end up ruining my car

[A13ART]

its a three inch filter and the mas airflow is ethier 2.5 or 2.75 but i tape the ouer part of the mass air flow for aight seal.

and for the other quesion i left of the maf and i threw a cheack egin light then i earsed it and conect the mass air flow and got no cheack ain u have to make sure u have some cooled air running to ur intake like how i still have that air vent and i amm gitting a heat shield soon fro mthe guy on our forum bu it cheep and what ur looking for is sound that is the way to go i got a pr r and will be putting that on soon once it comes in so i gues that will make it little lounder and then comes test pipe and lines and chip then rest of the exshaust and the turbo upgrade

[AudiA4Turbo22]

i think i got a migraine from AudiBama's vid haha! j/k! i'll take a vid this week sometime i have a 710N and it is freakin loud man!

[03CrysBlueB6]

I meant the smaller filter you have in the picture, what size is that one?

[Tacoman_Si]

i have the turbosmart hybrid Diverter. It is set to full recirclate and it still has the whoosh sound.

Dual Port
Part Numbers:
FG-BOV-KTDP20 (20mm), FG-BOV-KTDP25 (25mm)

Here is the link.

[A13ART]

the smaller one i belive s called a breather but i don no the size on it but i belie it came from autozone me and my friends all have a small garage that has all our werid extra parts rom of our cars and peoples car one of use works at auto zone one of us works at pepbos so we get some parts like that from there but yea i should be geting the r1 very soon and i think my test pipe i wil be buying within a week cuz the guy opno the forums isnt getting back to me on his and i wanted 3 inch any ways

[03CrysBlueB6]

how mcuh did you pay for tat tacoman? and who did the install?

[Tacoman_Si]

i found it on here never used for 100 shipped. i was going to do the install myself but my coilovers came about the same time and i had stage in kirkland do the complete install from coilovers alingment and diverter vavle for $280 after tax. 2 1/2 hours worth of labor. Hell since they had the car in the air it made sense to just have them do it.

[festerfm]

i run that setup w/ just a 3" filter on the maf but for no reason since i run full bov... as for runability, i have never had a problem with it...and i also took the factory heat shield off of the stock air box and put it between the cat and the filter and it's held there by an old school piece of coat hanger... cheap...yes... effective...about 70%... look good...not really.. overall, it's cheap, and it works pretty good for being free...

Chip=more boost. More boost=more air to get out. More air = more sound

I have APR 1+ and no sound. Just a boost leak from soo much boost the damn hose popped right off the new DV(my guess), so I have a constant hissing in boost, instead of alot of power that i should be getting. Make sure you clamp those mofo's on tight. Anyway, to the Original Poster, Just get in open air intake with a cone, like the rest of the people said. LLTek makes a real nice one if your willing to put down $300.
