Depends on your definition of better.
If you mean "Will it make fully sik PSSSSFFFFTTT noise?" then sure, but not like a Turbo BOV. The Comptech is always venting except when at WOT. So it will wheeze all the time and give a bit of a PSSSSHHH when you go hard then release.
Try the TurboSmart Kompact. fits inplace of the Bosch unit and has a cap for the intake tube. You'll need a supercharger spring too for the low boost level.

No. As I said, you need a screwdriver and nothing else. Ok maybe a knife to cut the hose or a spare bit of hose. If you needed welding equipment you'd think I would have mentioned it.
It is exactly the same as the picture above except you get a plug and jubilee clip for the intake pipe rather than wrapping it with tape.

If your BOV is adjustable you probably won't need to buy a separate spring. Look for one that fits an Audi 1.8T. You'll need a length of silicone piping like 5 inches of it, a couple of hose clamps, a plug for the intake pipe. I just made my intake plug out of a champaign cork that I wrapped with enough electrical tape to fit snug in the hole.
Look at my picture and at your S/C, it will be pretty clear.
