If you have a jetta (1.8t) I'm assuming, don't use a BOV. Get a forge dv and a intake. Your car will run correctly and you'll have the "blow off" sound.

Re: Are bov's illegal
actually, you don't have to use a factory part. I dont' know the case that brought this up or where it says so in the law book, but a part does not have to be factory to be legal. It does have to mimic factory opperation, which a dv (of what ever brand) would do. The part basically has to be "like-factory". If I come across it, I'll post "proof". We had something about this at the shop I used to work at.
