    Looking to get a blow-off valve and filter for my Polo GTI, any advice???

    hey all,
    i'm looking to get a BOV and flat bed filter for my car. i haven't actually looked to see if it already has an aftermarket filter, and after my yesterdays disovery of an APR chip, it probably has a filter already.
    But any advice on what types of BOV's and types of flat bed filters (pref. K&N) would be much appreciated....or even if to stay away from BOV's, its your court, let me know.

    Cheers to you all my new found fellow dubbers!!

    Stay away from K&Ns

    BOV - Go a dual port (half atmosphere, half plumb-back)

    Turbosmart and GFB both make straight swaps.

    I have a turbosmart and find apart from the noise ( ) that boost comes on abit quicker through the gears.

    you wouldn't happen to have any part numbers for the Turbosmart Dual Port BOV would you? so i can just call autobahn to see if they have one in stock or order it for me.

    i have used the turbosmart dual ports.. sounds nice but not aggresive

    my hks ssqv was the loudest bov and sounds like a laser

    and now my greddy type rs makes different sounds on different rpm, but its a whip lash sound.

    i have a K&N panel filter and i don't have any problems, it's alot smoother through the revs aswell.
