Hmmm... I just did the following :
- I disconnected the output pipe (bottom) of my Forge DV007P from the hose.
- Sealed that (air-intake/MAF) hose with a cork and a clip
So now my 007 is actually operating in fully atmospheric mode.
NO fault codes or engine lights yet ?!? (I have the AUQ engine btw.)
(don't even care, because I have VAG-Com to reset them if needed).
And it gives a truly awesome woosh-sound !! (More a 'POOOOOF')
Car performs normally.
It's easy to change te setup once in a while, by simply reconnecting the 007
to the hose. Or I could even make a T-piece with a tap in it (!), to change between
atmospheric and recirc "mode" ...
So guess I won't even need my Split-R. (anyone interested ??)
Today I am going to route a hose from the 007 output to the grille,
and experiment a little with some different sized caps at it's output, to get the nicest sound )
So it DOES appear to BE possible to have a fully atmospheric blow off valve on a 20VT ...
Anyway , What's the worst that could happen ?
Some fault codes, or maybe a slightly little lower petrol mileage ?
