GFB Hybrid on a 1.8T

[SexyDSM95]

Hey guys quick question, my ex wants to trade me my Turbo XS H-34 for his GFB Hybrid BOV/Diverter valve and I really can't pass up a deal like that. He tells me that I don't have the correct flange or what not, but I do have the 1g piping and the flange with the hold screws. The way my H-34 sits as of now, it's plugged/screwed into the 1g flange, then tightened with the screws. I am looking at pictures of the GFB Hybrid and it seems to have a similar piece.

This is what that particular website states:
GFB Hybrid BOV: In most cases, the HYBRID Atmosphere and Plumback totally eliminates backfiring on air-flow metered cars, but will still give the great sound you want. It has a larger venting capacity than the Mach 1, and in addition to the single trumpet it also has a plumback outlet which is connected to the Factory Valve's return line. Designed for all turbo vehicles, including BIG BOOST applications

If anyone knows a tad about a 2003 GTI and if there is any way the flange he has can be taken off so I just just use my flange/hold screws that would be awesome!

Ask him if you can try it first. Do you think he will swap it back outif your unhappy with it???

I think I would personally rather have a Turbo XS over a GFB. I dont really like either though (I'm not a fan of the brass valve). Why do you two want to trade in the first place? Either way, I'm sure they would have similar performance so you wouldnt be hurt by the trade.
