Does my 1.9 tdi mkv have a diverter valve??

[adrian13]

Hey guys recently bought a forge bov spacer that bolts on to existing diverter valve and was told by mechanic that he can install it but i dont see how if it may not have a diverter :S i know bov looses boost and all that i just want it on for shiets and giggles...does anyone know if this model came with one? Tried searching it but couldnt find the thread on this forum

Turbo diesels don't have/need diverter/blow off valves and fitting one would reduce performance and possibly damage the turbo

adrian,

you cant have a BOV. Diesels don't use a throttle body, so they are not useful or even implementable.

Perhaps your mechanic can install it somewhere (glovebox perhaps) but thats not likely what you're after.
