Arrow Too much time with BOV?

Well my girlfriend was looking for some clips of different BOV's for her GTI and stumbled on some funny one's. . . then we found this

Not sure if this was a repost but especially with the wheels on some these cars.

Ok, i stopped at about 30 seconds into it. Perfect example of ruining the look of a car with gaudy, oversized, chrome wheels.

what kind of bov did she found? My bro has a 04.5 Jetta GLI 1.8T and he said BOV's aren't good for Vee Dubs he said get a Diverter Valve "DV" since its recirculates look at the 007 Forge DV. My bro loves BOV's but he said a dv is alright too makes kind of the same sound as a BOV.

Atm i am holding off and getting a Forge Adj. DV when I can. Love the sound of the bov but this will do since i have go 50/50 on its settings and get the sound i want w/o losing boost.

My fiance has a forge Diverter valve on here passat. She loves the sound Always throws it in my face she has boost and I don't Forge BOV/DV's have a lifetime Warranty. I talked to the guys at a local meet, very nice and said any problems they will fix it and or replace it. Eventhough I am not the orig. owner

Goodluck.
