    Boost Gauge and BOV

    Hello

    Has anyone installed a blow-off value into their POLO 77tsi?

    Has anyone installed a boost guage into their POLO 77tsi?

    I'm assuming the above will void warranty?

    Cheers

    I haven't heard of any people here who have done it yet, but both are easy enough to do.

    The question is why... both void your warranty, and both are pointless on what is just a frugal city car.

    VAG turbo's dont tend to have a good Blow Off sound, I think the .4 bar boost would be pretty dismal on a gauge that goes up to 2 bar...
    boost pressure is a guess BTW...
