Diverter valve

[Rasco]

ok before everyone tells me to read this and read that, I have and I'm none the wiser.

I'm stock (pre stage 1) on an 06 manual @124K and don't believe its ever been changed.

what is current wisdom on which revision? I'm leaning towards 06F 145 710 G (ALSO CAN'T FIND THIS PART ON THE TPS WEBSITE!) from what I can read, can someone clear this up for me

Stop being cheeky 

Discontinued part 

Try get our hands on a gfb dv + and never look back

It always depends who you ask, as opinion seems to creep into the argument. But the broad consensus (including the opinion of Niki at R-Tech) is that the revision G is the one to get.

I'm not sure on the part number, but I did hear a rumour they're discontinued. You might have to do a bit of digging to find one.

My experience with the rev G is all good. Had it fitted in place of a failed rev C and immediately felt the boost doing what it should. Then had a Stage 1 map and it's still working spot on almost a year later. It's probably good practice to renew the valve every year or two if you're planning on turning up the boost.

You arguing again AJP  naughty boy.

Not really pal? Just relaying what I know about the rev G situation.

[Rasco]

I just spoke to an audi parts guy who checked his system for the rev G and although its an old number on his system they have them available for order £34 plus the vodka and tonic - so they have stock it appears even if the part is discontinued?

Only kidding 
I thought it was pointless getting a whole new valve if the original one is working and just has a split diaphragm so after reading the reviews of the GFB dv + I decided I want one and it came up cheap too so had to take the bait. £65 bargain

I went for a G last year, and just bought a gfb dv+, which I can state that there is less weird noises with that fitted over the G version, plus, throttle response on/off seems quicker.

The noises you may not get unless you have an open cone type air intake, so it you don't want to spend the money on a dv+, I would go with a rev G

I think you must have replied while I was typing mine out.

Anyway, I have heard that the latest gfb is holding up well in tests. The earlier/original (and certainly Chinese copy) versions were the ones that didn't work too well.

So if the rev G is indeed unavailable when mine's due I might just look into it.

Are the weird noises the 'out of tune flute' resonance noises that some k03 cars get with a cone intake?

I thought they were gone. Maybe worth snapping that up then.

No, it was weird screechy high pitched type noises which myself and my brother (2.0tsi) we're getting. Both seem to no longer have this

What was the first one?. just gfb dv?

I've certainly found all the wierd noises I had have now gone thanks to the GFB  dv + and no more torn diaphragm.

[AJP]

It's always been called the DV+ as far as I know.
