I would go for the Forge 007 recirc valve (I have one on my FR 20VT). With a Green filter and drilled airbox it makes a nice noise (but not too chav sounding). Forge also do a splitter valve that splits the boost between recirculating and atmospheric and can be tuned (eg. 50/50, 60/40 etc.) The atmospheric gives most sound! The recirc valve is the best for avoiding any MAF issues in the future. You can pick up cheapo recirc valves off ebay but you get what you pay for as they say!

Atmospheric's will give fault codes eventually, the 1.8t is designed to run using a recirc valve. The Forge Split-r is best of both worlds if you can get it set up right, some people have had problems with them some haven't. It's a gamble. Most people go for the Forge 007p fully recirc which has been extensively tried and tested.

Gooner Mike got there seconds before me!

Ive just put a green cotton air filter in and Split-r valve running in hybrid (think its 60/40) mode and can definitely notice a difference.

Good thing about the split-r valve is its not too noisy.

I got mine off ebay - item number 380134017059

To get any real noise the 007 needs to paired to an induction kit as the standard airbox acts as a muffler. Don't do it though imo. Stick to a panel filter buddy...

"reversed 007"?

You just turn it round so that the boost goes through it in the opposite direction! These picturea re not of an Ibiza but you get the idea!

I reversed mine and it sounded awfull with the yellow spring so maybe for that I'd have to change back to green. What could this be the yellow spring to strong for it reversed?

I'm running a yellow spring in mine and it sounds lovely :)
