your vanos is bianary. just a on off switch. You could run it soooooo easily with stand alone. Just have it turn on and off at set rpm,s ..... Its got to be the easiest thing you could do with a stand alone. I know you would need a tune adjustment, but your talking about way more power under the curve. fwiw vanos usually turns on just off idle , turns back off at 4100. not untill dual vanos came out its variable in the us. ( I think the euro s50 was actually the first variable vanos) vanos only hooks up one way , but the clip has a + and a - sign on it. (hook up vanos back words fries the switch ) Your tial blow off is a 50mm. your vw breather is for a tdi, fcp sells them for less than 20$. What mac valve(boost controller) is that? I've never seen one that brand.

@fiekiejay

5 ай бұрын

OEM part nr - 06A103465 - from a 2.0 liter gasoline VW, fits in the oil fill cap location on the valve cover assembly. The oil cap attaches to the top of the breather, and it allows a second breather location for the cylinder head. Additional cylinder head breathing can be beneficial in highly modified TDIs, as it will reduce pressure in the cylinder head and allow oil to more easily flow to the head and the turbo. Most people use this modification with some sort of a catch can.
