[jitaga]

i bought a blow off valve for my 05 VW GLI. After i installed nothing happend but after a few shifts the "check engine" light when on. I took the damm valve off but now the engine light does not go off. Any idea on how to fix it or what to do?

standard...

reset your ecu by either disconnecting the battery or pulling the fuse. Let it sit for about 5 minutes then see what happens.

I think there is something about VWs running BOVs that sets of CEL but I forgot. My friend explained it to me. Hes using a DV or something like that.

Newer VW=ECU hell... my friend has an 04 GLI, and he's had some MAJOR ECU issues!
Whenever you do something, no matter how simple it seems, ALWAYS expect it to cause the computer to throw a fit.

This is all from experience... I had the HKS SSQV on my 2002 1.8T (AWP) and for the two years I had it on, I had NO trouble, no codes, no CELS. I recently traded my HKS for a Forge 007 DV, and the difference is insane. With the HKS, boost ramped-up too fast, the turbo wasn't as responsive and the car felt over-all laggy. With the Forge DV, boost is silk-smooth and holds strong. NOW, if you want the "pssssssh" sound of a BOV, get a billet DV (Forge, evoms, etc...) mount it in reverse and get either a short-ram or CAI and when you reach full boost and release the throttle... get the BOV "pssssssh" sound. Granted, I tried the reverse DV and didn't care for the way to boost came-on... so now I run it like it was designed to be ran... just plain 'ol normal.

Taken from VW Vortex. A lotta people as I figured had problems with the BOV installment (aftermarket). There are people that re route it but most people run the DV. Well actually almost 90% of people run a DV on that site lol. You might as well get one supposedly it is a lot better than the JDM BOVs.
