Well the install is done. It was a piece of cake for the most part. The top bolt is very hard to get to. I dont have a lift so getting under the car was a pain in the ass as well. Also here is a tip for the guys at forge if they ever update the directions. They make allen/torx stockets for a reason. Doing this install allen wrenches is a good way to piss yourself off again and again. you need to use a socket wrench or socketing screw driver with an allen or torx bit for an easier install. and the sound? It sounds great. No CEL like the old 1.8T days. The sound is literally a loud HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. sounds really good. seems like a nice solid piece as well. fitment was great.

Thumbs up for Forge on another quality product;)

How does the Forge BOV work with higher than OEM boost? Just flashed mine and know the B DV will be trashed in no time. And heard rumors the C DV isn't much better.

Alright. Small (or major) problem.

I have a 2007 GTI. I also seem to have a fourth damned bolt on TOP of the recirc valve. Anybody else experience this? The damned thing won't come off, and the damned fourth bolt is impossible to get off. No moving room at ALL (there is a long metal hose or pipe running just above it. Any work arounds?

Take a pic and post it.

I did mine and there are similar looking bolts in the area, perhaps you are attempting to undo one that does not need to be undone?

Should only be 3. One is difficult to get to cuz you kind of have to reach around to the back of the valve and cannot see it very well. At least this was my experience doing the work under the car with my feet sticking out the front of the car while the car was on ramps.

I did the bottom three bolts. I saw all those. I can feel the pivot point where the other bolt is connected. I just can't see it, and there is NO way to get ANY tool in there easily. There is a bracket that hold together two pipes right above the bolt. You can Believe me, it's impossible. I tried for an hour.

No biggie. I'm selling the Spacer, if anyone wants it.

Picture to explain.

I got it installed... Not that big of a deal once you get in there (and have had some sleep) although, I do advise you to get a 5mm allen wrench and allen socket. You'll need the wrench for everything but the top bolt, and the top bolt will require the socket...

Also, your hands will cramp like a son of a bitch. It's a pretty tight squeeze.

I noticed that the other day too, does anyone have any more insight on this? I was thinking of picking one up @ Waterfest.

"This spacer fits the remote mounted solenoid valves, as found on the 2007 year models, Audi S3, 30th Edition Golf and Leon Cupra , with the 2.0 litre FSIT engines."


If you have a UDM 2007 GTI you have a turbo mounted diverter valve.
