R5GTT'S Cars rapid

@ArildStavrum

They say the rev g is better but I've read on the forum that some are tearing so the best solution is the gfb dv+ that doesn't have this diaphragm and has a piston alternative which has been recommended by many and why I've replaced my diaphragm.

The dv is the actuator or controller that controls boost and when the diaphragm tears the car loses boost so in turn that needs replacing with a rev g that's meant to be better but alas a load of cack as that one also tears open so comes the GFB dv+ to take the strain off the diaphragm and use its own pre loaded piston spring loaded for I think better pressure hold and no chance of boost leaking from it if you take the GFB and associated bits out and have a close look you'll understand what I mean. I think 

The gfb replaces the diaphragm itself and not the rev d g c b a or which ever it is so I don't need the diaphragm that's torn as that's a bin job and no need for a new one of those as the gfb does the diaphragms job and much better so everyone using them say including @Shoduchi @Tfsi_Mike who did a review on the gfb.

Hope that's a little more understandable.

I've not tried and tested it to the full as I'm waiting for tomorrow evening when I take take a good spirited drive and be the judge for myself 

Top man, thanks.

Let us know how it goes!!

Will do

Love mine. The boost comes up really well and I agree with others say about it as well. Compared with a Rev G the turbo is faster to spool from half throttle. From a stand still the difference isn't really much. 

[Dan_FR]

Where you notice the gains from the DV+ is throttle response. As the second spring closes the valve as soon as is possible, even though the ECU would hold it open for longer than needed, it means the boost pipework fills with air that much quicker, meaning you're on boost quicker.

That, as well as a much smoother transition between vac and boost when you're driving and tickling the throttle ( motorway cruising for example). Be warned you will likely get an underlying fault code telling you the DV is not doing its job properly, but thats because of the effect of the second spring. No EML appears

Right drove to my job interview in Islington and I can't believe how the power deliery has drastically changed with immediate throttle response as mentioned by @Dan_FR it's no doubt a lot better but I'm being biased as my dv was split so I maybe over exaggerating things a little but the turbo feels like it holds stringer as I have driven a goof few gti's before I bought this one so can't be wrong in saying it feels a lot stronger.

Something also sounds different like more of a grunt   

Feels good 

[Pesky jones]

Yeah I bet it feels likes a different car! Nice one. I imagine DV+ would be most effective on k04 as it will  get on boost quicker. I think k03 turbos naturally get on boost quicker. If one comes up second hand I might buy one… New job r5gtt?

[r5gtt]

Yes it definitely feels like a different car with more pull in most gears as not gone in the dual carriageway or motorway yet but I'm more confident in taking off quicker as the response is almost instantly there.

Yes new job as the b**** in this place has pissed me right off with all the lies bringing me into the company and everything's the opposite as to what she said and promised. 
can't even go for a coffee ff* what kind of bull**** is that. can't scratch me gonads without permission and I kid you not.

This place is in Islington and closer to home so let's hope I get it as ive just got back from the interview and things looked okay but still need to see what ray my agency guy brings back with the feedback.

[Pesky jones]

I need my tea! I can definitely sympathise with that. Oh well at least you have the job and if you get the new one happy days!

[r5gtt]

I have to say I'm so loving my car now 
WOT and the car goes crazy and sounds awesome with the dsg farts 

[r5gtt]

My double outer Side light and brake light mod 

[r5gtt]

Dent almost out but because of the plate that's to the right of the window wiper and right under the dent I couldn't manage to get it totally out as it was difficult to access but managed to make it smaller
This was my first effort.

Here's my final and there is a little crease there which could not be helped but it's much better than it was.

[rashg60]

Finally got that dent out I see.......

[r5gtt]

Yes rashg60 went on a call out this morning and fitting some drop links on someone's car and had plenty of time to spare so thought may as well get it done 

[Beej]

About time, much better!

[r5gtt]

I know ownership Jan 2015 repaired dent may 2016  omdays I didn't even realise how long it's been  and buying all sorts for the car instead of sorting that dent out

My new gearbox mount before tightening it.

How you getting on with this?
