not to be a dick. But a blow off valve on any volkswagon will hurt perfrmance more then help.

The VWs are equiped with a rather differnt MAF, so the ECU takes into account for all that extra air and it dumps enough fuel into the engine to compansate for it. So if you put a BOV on an VW then the ECU will be compansating for air that isn't there and make the car run rich.

However alot of people put a diverter valve and a CAI which does sound alot like a BOV.
