Please forgive me as this may seem like a basic question to many on here. I’m no diesel mechanic I’m more used to customizing gas powered motors/cars.
Do turbo Diesel engines have a blowoff valve which releases boost when off the gas pedal? I know many/all gas turbo engines do and they add a nice sound when driving so I was thinking about getting one for my jetta if it’s even possible.
The main reason I question if my 2015 jetta tdi ever completely releases built up boost is because I always hear the turbo (even when just letting the engine slow the car down from high rpms, I still hear a little whine when off the gas). I have a boost gauge which supports my hunch as it still reads a few pounds of boost when the car is in gear just coasting.
If anybody knows about this or can recommend a blowoff valve (if they apply to tdi motors) would be greatly appreciated
