After having the A4 off of the road for nearly a year due to work, life etc..
I have finally managed to throw a few new/replacement parts on and will have her running again next weekend all being well. While she's been off of the road (originally due to the head gasket) I've taken the opportunity to replace the radiator, belts, coolant elbow & sensor, a few hoses and various other parts.
My plan is now to make sure that everything is functioning 100%, install the new flywheel & clutch and then get booked in at R-Tech for a custom tune.
Your local Audi dealer will sell you one for about 30quid!
Or if your lazy, you can try ebay:
Genuine Audi dump valve 'the 710N' latest version DV | eBay
Exactly, but folk like to buy the big shiney upgrade parts, even if they do nothing.
And unlike many of the aftermarket valves, the 710N doesnt leak, and doesnt need serviced.
Have you moved your dv to the cold side?
I have a hose running back to the stock location to channel the air back across the bay.
My lower intercooler hose from the turbo looks like this:

Cant you squeeze a T fitting like that in and keep the DV in its stock location?
I might try one of these 710N dv's. Have a duel/split one on just now but closed it in nov to just recirculate.
I'm not using the stock TIP though so it's no easier than using the T from the cold side that's already in place.
Would look far tidier though, a nice small neat hose tucked away out of sight, rather than a dirty great pipe running across the bay.
yeh Avants getting ME7.5.
Your old hybrid was on the saloon, but i sold that when i broke it. Avant has a "K300" hybrid from beachbuggy, quite a huge thing, perhaps too huge. The K300 hybrid on A3's make over 300hp, but the A4 parts are more restrictive. I'd be happy with 270ish.
Its got a compressor wheel from a Focus ST, and a turbine wheel from a RS6. In theory capable of 330hp or more with the wheels in it, but the housings and exhaust manifold etc are too restrictive for that.
Yeh its a K03/K04 hybrid just like the old scroll ones, just much much larger!
It needs rebuilding first but I need to find somebody reliable to do it.Nice one. Get that nailed on there!
