Since originally posting this message I actually went out and took a good look at her Passat 1.8T it has no boost gauge no intercooler no blow off valve and a turbo about the size of a big apple. So I guess since it is probly giving her like 5 psi she will be fine without the premium gas. ;)

they have a dirivter valve or something instead of a bov
but no intercooler :-O
and that turbo makes the t25 look big.

Yeah, it is seriously so small I wasn't sure were it was at first! You could cover the whole thing up with one of those hump couplers.

I have the same engine as that Passat and there is an intercooler. Its bigger than a stock dsm intercooler and uses the square core crap. The diverter valve is what all the audi/vw guys call them. In my opinion it is still a blowoff valve otherwise the 2g dsm would have a diverter valve also since it is made of the same material, plastic. The car comes with a K03 and is small as crap but spools very damn quick.
Here is what some guy did to his little 1.8 and it roars.

they actually is a difference. But I forgot what it was.
I read an argument on the saabcentral about the difference of the two.
it's something minor too and I call them bov's still.
