PARFAIT ! Sur Audi TT 8j TFSI

This is a redesigned bypass valve that is a perfect replacement for the original one that often fails. I didn't have a code or engine light but knew the boost wasn't up to par so pulled the original bypass valve and quickly found the diaphragm was torn. The car has the pull I was missing and runs like a bear now, I love it. The price was better than anyone I found and its not a cheap brand, after looking at the original I found the same brand name matched this part. It bolts directly into the bottom of the turbo, 3 bolts and the power cord remove it. Pull the splash pan and look up on the passenger side of your 2.0t engine, you'll see the turbo. This valve looks like the original from the outside so look and you'll see it.

I was debating on getting the cheaper priced part that Amazon recommends you when seeing this product, but after seeing the reviews on them, I decided to just get this genuine one since it is the part that I depended on a lot. My car was suffering from loss of speed, and I didn’t really pay much attention to it because from glancing at what could be the problem with P0299, I brushed it off and said “as long as it runs I’m okay,” but this started to annoy me after 2 years of going with this code as I wasn’t getting the speed I used to get anymore. I sat down and went through what it could’ve been, and saw the diverter valve could more than likely be the issue. I wasn’t 100% but I was hoping it was because it seemed to be the cheapest and easiest part to replace. $50 is a godsend when it comes to replacing an Audi part. So the part came, and went to my mechanic to go get it replaced. When he took it out, the diverter valve in my car came apart completely (see photos attached). I was in shock and thinking “I’ve been running my car like this for 2 years? Man.” Got the part switched out and was happy that it was easy. Immediately after I left the shop, I felt it; the boost I’ve been missing for so long. It was as if the car had been waiting for this replacement and was ready to show its full potential. I am disappointed in myself for not doing this sooner, but I got discouraged when I thought I might need to replace the turbo ($800+), and did not have the money so I rolled with how it was. My car is back, baby. Now I’m just hoping the check engine light is off for my smog test, as that will confirm that this WAS the P0299 my car was giving me (edit: check engine hasn’t come back on after a week and the car passed the smog test, safe to say the crummy part had been the culprit all along). Other than that, if you’re still debating on getting this one or a $20 diverter valve, fork an extra $30 and get this one. You won’t regret it and your car will thank you.
