It won't really be noisy. On my car, it's a recirculating bypass valve. And as Curt said above, it's an automatic car. The Jetta seems to fall out of boost at higher RPMs and the factory diverter valves are known to tear and cause this problem. So since it was so cheap I decided to upgrade to one of, if not, the best bypass valve made.
