Alow me to tell you about the Split R valve:

Just dont go there! Get the 007P from Forge or any other valve with a good rep. Best advise youll get this week.

wont get much of a tish from a 007p tho if thats what he wants .....but iirc most atmospheric valves bring up faults on vags

Actually youll get a pretty nice sound from the 007P when used with an open cone air filter and remap boost.

i really like the split r valve its now in my boot as spare if it goes in limp mode ..you can adjust the hks dv to make a different sound but found this best as it throws it in limp pretty much strait away if the bolt is to open ... with regards to the n249 im prety sure it stps the car running to much boost altho im not sure exactly all i no is it feels alot better to drive and seems to pick boost up alot quicker .. if ny one is in the kent area i ill be happy to do it for them its so easy to do .. those that are not i will try and do a guide

I used to have the Split R and it was, as for many others here, after remap completely junk. It produces alot of compressor stall. (chatter) Not good for the turbo. I did a series of leak tests on mine and found it not to hold any kind of vacuum. Not even in full resirq. Another point is after remap the 1,8T engine runs ALOT better together with a valve thats gives 100% recirculation. The engine is just designed that way, you know? The difference between a semi dump valve and full resirq becomes apparent after remap.

Have yet to try my 007P in the "reverse" order. With reverse I mean not reverse from the original Bosh valve which had a different design, but instead of sending the return out the side, as the valve is designed for, flip it 90º so the return exits out the bottom of the valve.

most people slate them - but I was at RSTuning on saturday and there was a red LCR running a spliter-R (35 clicks) and that was boosting fine. Some people seem to be able to run them fine.

You often find them in the for sale section on here - so you could try without getting stung for the full price.

Expected it to go into limp mode a lot sooner.
Turning it off and on, great - maybe not the best way to clear codes.
Just take it off mate.
