TFSI is designed to have the boost recirculated to minimise turbo lag. The noise is for Scoobys etc  :grin:

People have run "dump valves" but found the engine doesn't run very well. You can get a DV spacer from Forge which gives the noise but has been proven to lose power.

Your best off with the OEM REV "G"  DV   :happy2:

I ran the forge adjustable Atmospheric valve on my last vRS for a while (around 20k miles) and never had any issue with it. It held boost fine on mine. I only got rid when i relocated the DV.

Yes! The right intake would make some fantastic noises. Try Evoms  :happy2:
