Only VW/AUDi guys make this distinction between a BOV and diverter valve no other group of turbo enthusiasts call them a diverter valve when they recirculate and a BOV (blow off valve) when they go off to the atmosphere.
To really enjoy an avalanche of colorful responses, head over to AW, AZ, Fourtitude, etc and share this story with the Audi crowds.

J Ozzie: you've had this thread going with the other message you posted...

And here again: it is like sucking and blowing at the same time... which is impossible and even if you manage to achieve such a feast, it is not good for your lungs! It is much worst for an AUDI turbo!

Does an open air intake really make that much of a difference in sound in a B5 S4?
