I have a stock turbo charged VW Passat and was interested in installing an after market blow off valve. However, I can't find a video or instructions on how to.Can anyone find instruction for installing aftermarket blow off valve on 2002 VW Passat?The aftermarket blow off valve will simply replace the factory diverter valve. Unlike GTIs, Jettas, and TTs with the transverse 1.8T, the Passat and A4 longitudinal 1.8T makes the diverter valve a pain in the neck to get to. You can access eat either by jacking up the car and working from underneath, or by removing the passenger side lower grill, which it is directly behind. Once you find the valve, all you need to know is to remove the stock DV by removing the two larger hose clamps and one smaller hose clamp, slide the hoses off, then connect the small hose and the one coming off the side of the factory DV to your new BOV.
Just a side note, 1.8Ts are not designed to work well with blow off valves, since they have airflow metered by a MAF. Running a BOV will cause your car to run rich, but if you don't care then more power to you. The preferred route is to purchase an aftermarket piston-type diverter valve.Can anyone find instruction for installing aftermarket blow off valve on 2002 VW Passat?When you buy one it will have the instructions with it.
