Right sorry to sound think and stuff and i have done plenty of searching now not come up with that many answers,,, i'm not a boy racer but i do like a nice sound to my car and fancy a bit of an exhaust but not something too obtrusive, also i fancy a blow off valve as had many many turbo cars and bikes but do the t5s work ok with an atmospheric type bov as the last car i had was a passat 1.8t and they just didn't like anything other than a recurculating one,,, also air filter? etc etc lol

Ive got same engine in my c70, I've never bothered with the dump valve as it has mixed reviews of it causing engine problems or car runs perfect, I would personally rather not risk it.... Ive got a K&n panel filter in mine and it gives the engine a nice hum, I had the passat 1.8t previously also and thought that was nippy, but does not compare to the t5.. How are you finding yours

Forge Recirv... you aren't running enough boost to need a Vent to atmos.

Watch my vids below - you can hear the recirc valve. BOV is not necessary.

As wobbly says recirc is proper loud with a K&N anyway.
