Someone please explain to me why a BOV isn't as good as a BPV?? Confused........(more).
Im a little confused because LLtek is selling a BOV for their audis, not yet released for the 2002 yet but they do sell them for the 1996 to 1999.5. Im kind of still contemplating whether I should get a BPV from FOrge or Baileys or LLtek's BOV. Will the BPV make the same sort of sound BOV's make or less, or more or what?

BPV... BOV won't do anything for you but that silly sound...
Furthermore, your MAF sensor will get confused when it doesn't have air recycled into it, like the BPV does. So you'd be looking at a rich condition, possibly fouling your sparkplugs and cat.

Although fans of Terrence and Phillip may really like it...
...in unbalancing how your A4's breathing is set up, you waste fuel (rich) and can lead to expensive repairs (MAF, Cat, the dreaded dead waranty). Much better to get an upgraded BPV.
