THE COMMENT YOURE LOOKING FOR- This sounds louder in person than in the video. Yes, it's going to give you the sound youre looking for. However, it serves no purpose other than that sound. I removed this spacer once I upgraded my diverter valve and got an open intake from APR. The turbo spool is notably louder and more aggressive than the dv spacer. On top of that, it adds functionality to the noise. For those wondering, if you've got the room in your bay, yes, the GFB DV+ will fit onto this spacer. However, you will need to go to a hardware store for longer screws. If you're doing this on 8v gen audi, it's very likely that there won't be enough space to install.

I've heard that these can cause some turbo lag and that the sound gets annoying after a while.

I've already got a CTS turbo cold air intake so my car is plenty loud, but I wouldn't mind slapping one of these in to get the nicer PFTFTFT sound.

[@AgentOffice]

It's sealed during the beginning so I don't believe the lag part. Oil probably

[@rars0n]

The only possible way it could affect lag is if the diverter valve itself was leaking, but then you'd have more problems than just a little bit of lag and you'd have them even before you installed this part. Anyone who says this affects lag or spool doesn't know what they're talking about.

[@dmitryclarke2127]

Jack McDonald I have the same question

[@2010ngojo]

The ecu takes into the account of the recirculated air. As he said the begin, this spacer prevents the cel from popping up while having bov like sound. I don't think the spacer vents all the air out, but it does make the engine run a little rich during shifts. I see no worthwhile benefits running this or a bov other than sound. At least not by itself. Seems like while point of the spacer is to convert the oem bypass into a hybrid?

[@Underp4ntz_Gaming_Channel]

Cons = engine will run rich, needs a tune to extent its life. and the second con is... you do not recirculate boost into the turbo again so you get turbo lag. The diverter valve is there to keep the turbo spinning when you let loose your pedal. thats why they use it. you can do a pops n bangs tune to keep it spinning too. but hey. thats the word from some professional tuners and race car builders from VW who work on the TCR's from volkswagen on the nurburgring. get a pops n bangs or a forge diverter valve that makes stututut sounds and keep the boost up.

[@rars0n]

None of the "information" provided in this comment thread is correct. A diverter valve isn't going to have ANY effect on turbo spool or lag, whether it is vented or not. The purpose of the diverter valve is to relieve pressure and prevent air from flowing backwards back into the turbo. That's it. The car is not going to run rich. Anyone who says this either doesn't know how the Mk7 ECU works or doesn't understand air metering in general. The Mk7 doesn't use a MAF sensor, it is a speed density-style system which calculates airflow based on pressure and temperature, among other things. The ONLY way that this would affect air metering is if you had a pre-turbo MAF. That's not the case in this vehicle. The whole concept of the car "running rich during shifts" is absolutely ludicrous. I have no idea where people get this shit from. If you don't know what you're talking about, you should just leave the answers to someone else.

[@Rdubinthemornin]

The spacer valve definitely gives you the blow-off sound you are looking for... But followed by a whining sound from the engine. You can hear it very clearly in this video. It sounds like "wop wop wop wop wop" after the blow-off occurs. The GTI naturally recirculates the boost created in the turbo and does not want to blow anything off, that is the reason for the sound. A spacer is a minor version of a blow-off valve, like a younger sibling. I'm taking my spacer off because although it sounds tough when you hear the swoosh from the blow-off, your credit tanks immediately after when that whining sound occurs. ECS is an amazing company, but this not a good mod. Take it from somebody who has had this on their car for about a year.
