Did search on topic, but there was not much written about this.
I have read, that Audi's original bypass valves are made from plastic, they often leak and therefore you loose some boost pressure/power, which sometimes is not easy to recognise. So, may-be it's good idea to swap them to aftermarket items, like those from Dahlback Racing (http://www.es-tuning.ee/UserFiles/Image/kauplus/BOV/DSCF5287.jpg) ?
How many of you have experienced the problems with stock bypass valve or how many have upgraded them ? Here the cost of two valves + install is appr. € 350.-, would it be money well spent ?
BTW. My car is not chipped and I don't have plans to chip it anytime soon.
