09 RA BOV thread

has any one had luck finding a flange or kit for the new RA

I have no qualms using a kit from the evo X but just want to make sure it would fit.

Im coming from a 08 VW GTI and a BOV was never a good idea on that car for some resign or another. any reported problems or does it require a tune?

thanks for all your help thus far.

would a tune make up for that? running rich between shifts. (not like there is a whole lot of time there. 1/8 a second maybe.)

Is a BOV for the RA even worth getting?

Is the sound noticeable????

Eg. would it sound like the EVO 9 when it spools???
