    Default BOV size? Turbosmart Dual Port

    Have GTI 1.8T. I don't want to vent straight to atmosphere because I don't want to run rich because of the MAF sensor. SO I plan to buy a Turbosmart Dual port and recirculate most of my air. Here is my question

    They sell a kompact series valve they reccomend for audis/vdubs. Is there any problem with buying the regular size dual port? What size in terms of mm would I need to get? Like 38mm or what?

    You could also get a SAFC and use fuel correction with it so it venting to atmosphere wont affect it and run any BOV you want

    Jetta=Euro which means shit never works right, they just recently released a SAFC (safc select)that would even work on the car and it hasn't been widely tested with the popularity of a simple "chip".

    Pull out your recirculator valve and measure it, if I remember right mine was about 25mm (1 inch) when I was redoing some hose that was dry rotted.

    Okay, it's just the diamerter of the recirculator valve. Simple enough I saw the mm listed next to the product and was wondering what it measured. Appreciate the help.
