Are you mean that about the Dump Valve?

yes, where it releases all the built up air when you shift gears. where is it located on my car?

Hi Integ,
The DV of A4 1.8T is on the behind of the passenger side(LHD) fog lamp.

1.) Jacke up the car, and removed the front under protector.
2.) You can discover The stock DV on the behind of passenger side fog lamp, and there is between the tubes of IC and turbo.
3.) Replace it.

May be this can help you: http://www.seansa4page.com/mya4s/995/forge/engine.jpg

I'm using the Forge DV007P, it's nice for my chipped A4 1.8T. But it hasn't any swoosh sound.
