Forge Recirculating Diverter Valve vs VW Diverter Valve (Rev. D)

[xxx_mojo_xxx]

Which one is better? 

Responses to be accompanied with supporting arguments, e.g. VW regulates boost pressure a lot quicker, or Forge one can handle higher boost pressures.

I've got the revision D next to me. Had the forge and it seemed like a pain in the arse to fit and plumb in. Besides I'll be selling up in about 6/7  months I wanted to keep it OEM so save the hassle of taking the forge and associated pipework off when I sell it.

Thats the only reason why I swapped and went for the OEM version. I'd have no doubts about the ability of each system to preform.

Bit of a politicians response... I need more substance!!!

If it was one or the other - which one would you go for? 

I have both DVs sitting here with me - well the OEM one is fitted at the moment, just so that I can compare and contrast it to the Forge one I have been running over the past 6 months.

i went from the 'D' valve to the Forge DV - Yellow Spring - it was part of my quest to solve a flat spot - turned out to be the revo settings in the end

i also changed as I heard the noise was a bit fruitier with the forge - which it is when paired with a CAI in particular the ITG.

in terms of performance - forge seems to work well and holds boost solidly but so did the 'd' valve - there is a huge thread over on golfmkv.com comparing the two with logs etc - which shows the D valve works just as well

i like forge stuff though - uk company and their products seem well developed and produced, aftercare is always good too

Unless you're adding loads of bits and a re-map, I'd stick with OEM..

OEM new version all the way , as good as Forge but fit and forget with no maintenance required...
when mine goes thats what I'll be doing

I've tried both, twice, and will stick with the D rev from know on. The Forge 1 works but so does the D rev for a third of the price and much less hassle fitting it. The D rev's been in min for over 10K on stg2+ with no problems at all

Why is the Forge DV more hassle to fit on a K04?

[gazbutS3]

On a K04 its the cuttin pipes and finding a suitable place to mount the solenoid etc, the std valve is just a bolt on jobbie

On the K03 its even worse, cuttin pipes and all that and its under the car

picture of my rev G taken off the rocco today after 29,000 miles, dealer said he couldn't find a boost leak when we agredd to disagree earlier in the week should have gone to spec savers

My dealer refused to acknowledge that the diverter valve had gone - but rather my turbo was on its way out.

I soon put them right...removed the thing and showed them the faulty part... they were speechless!!!
