[s-cars] Bosch BPV number 116?

[The Rogue]

I did what my gut feeling was telling me. I waited until monday before 
installing the 710B so I could go back to Audi and exchange my BPV for a 
710N. Thanks Dave for the input! Great thing is that the 710N is half 
the price of the other one, so I  end up with the part I wanted in the 
first place at half the cost!

The car now feels smooth as it transisions between vacum and 
boost......much better!

Weird thing was that the old valve looked installed backwards?? Probably 
from the engine rebuild 6000Km back! I went back to the CD and confirmed 
the position of the valve as to have the internal spring parallel to the 
turbo, Right? In other words in life 3D when you look under the hood at 
the valve installed, you sould be able to read the part numbers and not 
be looking at the bosch logo? Right?

What are the negative effects of having the valve instaled upside down 
so long, and I really should of thought of checking it's orientation 
beforehand....duh!
