{"product_id":"1-8t-diverter-valve-with-14-4-lb-spring","title":"1.8T Diverter Valve with 14.4 lb Spring","description":"The Audi 06A.145.710N is a diverter valve designed for 1.8T engines, specifically the Mk4 platform and the 8N TT. This valve serves a critical function in turbocharged engines by recirculating pressurized intake air when the throttle plate is closed. This action prevents turbo compressor stall and can help mitigate surging, particularly after performance modifications such as chip tuning, intake, or exhaust upgrades.\n\nThis particular diverter valve, known as the '710N', is an upgraded version featuring a 14.4 lb spring. This is a significant increase compared to the 8.8 lb spring found in earlier Golf, Jetta, and Beetle models, as well as all years of the Audi A4 1.8T and VW Passat 1.8T. The stronger spring provides improved performance and reliability.\n\nThe installation location varies by model. For Audi A4 and VW Passat models, the valve is situated on a hose branching off the lower intercooler hose between the engine and radiator, accessible from underneath the vehicle. For Audi TT, VW Golf, Jetta, and Beetle models, it's located on the rubber intake hose after the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, accessible from the top of the engine bay.\n\nThis is a factory-supplier part, equivalent to what is offered by a local VW dealer, and is recommended over aftermarket billet diverter valves (blow-off valves). To verify if your current valve is the '710N' version, look for the Bosch part number 0 280 142 114 stamped on it.","brand":"Neuspeed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52686975435064,"sku":"06A.145.710N","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/660676572.webp?v=1784879124","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/1-8t-diverter-valve-with-14-4-lb-spring","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
