I've got a MK4 GTi and am looking for a BOV that gives an atmospheric "fluttering sound"? I Originally thought it was the HKS SSQ but have been told that gives a high-pitched racing sound. Does anyone know what BOV it is and where I can get one?HOw much installed?

Atmospheric BOV's dont go to well with VW's. They tend to send the ECU crazy and throw all sorts of codes. You can get a hybrid one from forge that recirculates and vents to atmosphere that will give you the desired sneeze.
In saying that, another member on the forum here N.GOLFU has had a pod filter system made up that mounts it down in the front bar and I can say it sounds awesome!

did anyone end up getting one of these?
are they adjustable so that you can turn it down so you only get the sound when you really 'fang' it?
