So just bought a BOV for my 03 Jetta 1.8t wolfsburg and its not as loud as i thought and wished it would be.. im researching and ive found some things saying it could be something called compression surge. it has a butterfly woosh sound and can barely be heard. im just not sure whats wrong and would like some help if anyone has any answers

Compression surge should be avoided by a bov cause that like the entire point of having it have u adjusted the valve on it at all???? what type is it?

re:

ya i know it isnt sounding right. its an adjustable one with an allen key, i played wirth it and no change. What valve is it your talkign about? its a greddy knock off i got for $100 off a friend.

Is it potentially causing harm, like should i put te stock divertor back on untill i can figure out whats wrong?

Also a friend told me i might not have enough boost to make the loud woosh sound due to my stock turbo only pushing 7-8 pounds of boost.

again any help is greatly apreciated it

if it was me i would go back to stock for now and look into it somemore but yes u could just not have suffiecient boost for it right now or it could be because its just a cheap piece of crap (no offense)
