Need advice on BOV selection.

I have an 01 SS A4 with the twin intercooled P-1SC set up and the SDConcepts spring tensioned 8 rib pulleys. The car is pushing 12# at 6800, when you let off the throttle on the dyno you can see the plenum expand slightly from the pressure.

I now have the stock ATI supplied Bypass valve, I have been looking at the Vortech Mondo, Tial 50mm, and Apexi.

Wich one in your opinion would be best for my aplication?

Thanks for the help!

Most seem to go with the mondo or the tial. I personally like the sound of the mondo better.

I would say either the tial or mondo would be your best bet.

Look in my Sig at my pics. I have the Apexi, I've had it for 2 years without problems.. If you have a plastic plenum box the Apexi will not work in the location I have mine at. I have a metal plenum.

Good luck.

I have the fabricated aluminum plenum but I would like to mount the BOV
on the same tube as the ATI supplied valve under the car. I have read by a few people that it is best to mount it close to the head unit?

I like the price and the compact design of the TIAL 50mm, just wanted to get a second opinion.

thanks guys!
