From the TurboXS website:
Racing Bypass Valve Type 25 (RBV-25) US$169.00
The Racing Bypass Valve Type 25 was specifically designed to replace the 1 inch (25mm) Bosch Bypass Valve used in most Volkswagen and Audi applications. The Bosch valve is prone to failure in stock application and not adequate for holding boost in "chipped" 1.8T equipped vehicles. The RBV-25 spring tension is adjustable, making it ideal for your modified vehicle. This RBV-25, though louder than a stock bypass valve, is not loud compared to an atmosphere BOV.
If you have HKS, then it is probably a SSV, witch IIRC, is amospheric. I am surprised the car is even driveable, but anything is possible. I ma sure some kid wanted the loudest BOV he could get, and well, he got it.
Mike was correct with the TXS RBV-25. Specifically designed for the VAG 1.8T motors. Retail on it is $169.00, BSVW members get 10% back, wich brings it to $152.00. I Just checked the stockroom and i am currently out of them, but it only takes me a couple of days to get them in from TurboXS. I can be reached at my shop at 406-829-3830, as for Aeron. Later guys!
