No, i do mean bov (as a general term). And here is why:
The diverter/bov should only operate (dump) when:
> there is boost pressure
> the throttle plate is closed
At all other times the valve should be shut.
Now, in the case that the throttle valve is shut and the turbo is still making boost, we know that the driving condition is basically engine overrun (decellerating engine speed). In this case the ecu will always tell the injectors to shut off (no fuel). All vag petrol engines have been this way since digifant1.
Therefore, how much mixture control is the ecu doing overrun? None at all!
Ergo - it is irrelevant whether you are recirculating or venting - when you are, the ecu is going to deliver 0 fuel in either case.
Now, besides all that - the valve i bought is configurable as a dump or a recirculate.
I hope that helps... I've read this myth about dump vs recirculate so much but as a mechanical engineer, i cannot rationalise the argument regarding the maf readings.
