Hello VW/Audi tuners i hve a few questions...

[Allstar3.8T]

--Dog Bone is the lower rear mount that tends to flex alot and allow torque toss, once replaced the engine sits still, an insert kit also works well.
--CAI is cold air intake, and it works well on our cars as well, once moving. Any open element sitting near a hot engine bay is bad. My intercooler N2O kit I am making will also spray a little towards the filter as well for that reason.
--The DV vs BOV is simply a BOV releases into the atmosphere, A DV doesnt. Once you start blowing off boost, and not Diverting it, a CEL (Check Engine Light) may appear, and compromise power. BTW, an intake will make the DV loud like a BOV if thats what you want...so I recommend staying DV and not BOV, even if you just wanna hear it spit.
The GTI is Adam , its a 03 Golf 1.8T Gray in color. He is currently in Auburn ALA, and comes here (home) frequently. He is chipped, 3" DP, 3" CB. CAI, Pulleys, Clutch /PP/Lt flywheel and all the -$100 things like DV, N75 etc etc. Great guy.

Ok thanks alot for the information.

Dog bone makes sense, any time you can stiffen the motor mounts it helps with power transfer.

I know that a actual BOV in a system that is designed for a reciculating valve isnt a great idea. I just didnt know if the one is this car was electric or something else special.. you said it was needed so the ECU could read boost thats the part that threw me

Using a CAI on a Turbo car has always been a huge no no. The temperature of the air coming into the turbo truely matters only so much because it can be made up for as it goes thru the front mount. that is generally speaking ofcourse and seems to be a bit different for some reason in these cars.. thanks for the heads up
