good luck trying to find a video of a 2.7T with a BOV , no one likes them or uses them on the S4 or A6....i have heard bad stories about BOV's and 2.7's

yeah but turbosmart has specifically designed a pair of these kompacts for the 2.7T engine!

BOV's and MAF-based tuning don't mix well.

*edit* ah, it's a dual "bov & recirc" valve.
I have no experience with using one that's a hybrid like that.

I've never used their BOV's, but I've had an eBoost for a number of years, and love it.

Well the idea is that the hybrid valves have an adjustment knob to adjust the ratio of air that gets "blown-off" versus the amount that gets recirculated.

The result is a BOV sound but, less "black bumper" effect from running pig rich between shifts.

Not my cup of tea.
