The GTI can be fitted with a BOV but some say it will not run well as the car was designed to run a DV. If you want "super cool" BOV noise a Forge spacer may satisfy your needs, i've had one and took it off because the sound got annoying, check it out on youtube. Everything you'd need to know is here www.golfmk6.com
Vdubs are awesome....my sister has one ( mk5 GLI) and two of my buddies just recently bought mk6 GTI's and have had no problems and love everything about it. Oh and here is a website where you can modify your mk6 and get ideas http://www.dubmodder.com/app/MK6/MK6.php
rather than getting a forge spacer (sounds really terrible and prone to leaks) or a HKS bov, invest the money into an intake and an upgraded DV.
this.
an intake should open up the sound to hear your DV go "whoosh!", like a BOV. that's the way it was for the 1.8T, so I assume the same applies for the 2.0T

nah no chip is needed to make an intake or dv work.
most aftermarket diverter valves are vacuum regulated. the oem newest revision is electronically regulated. The forge DV is the most popular one.
Best intake on the market for the sound would be either the Forge Twintake (2 carbon enclosed canister) or the Evoms intake (giant mushroom filter cone)
I own a MKv GTI,
There are BOV's for VW's but just a fewer selection.
If your really interested look up Forge Spacers BOV.
But to be honest, these BOV's make an artificial sound that doesnt sound normal.
Thats jsut my opinion tho.
