Little help to put my mind at ease please - DV replacement

[PDT]

I change a LOT of these at the workshop, its common for the top part of the DV to fall off when removing them and they land somewhere you cant see them/find them. I dropped one last week and it took 20+ mins to find with a torch and mirror!

Without the top part the inside of what is left of the DV in the pic would have been a lot more dirty and the spring would have dissapeared by now. Also without the upper part of the DV missing for 6+ months you would have had a fault code stored by now.

I guess that the original (missing) part was probably torn and the reason for the transformation is the new valve holds boost. Without the valve (or with one jammed open) the GTi's drive like really badly, a 1200kg car with around 132HP that is broken. ( I dyno tested an Audi A4 last week with a DV that was jammed open and it made 132hp and 197 with a new DV)

Also if the car is only 6 months old then whys it been fitted with the old type DV?? 

Sorry car is a 55 plate.  Early DSG with all the nice bits the "bean counters" removed from standard on the later cars.

Working in Pontefract today, so chance for a good run.

The car has never driven like this before.

100 appears really quck (long drive way officer) and always appears willing.
For the first time I can feel when the turbo comes in, hardly any lag. Also the constant hiss from the turbo has gone. Even let the window down in the tunnels in the Leeds inner ring road, to double check.

Such a different car to drive.

now go and get it mapped......

+1, think of the difference from before you replaced the DV to now, a remap will give you the same chunk of power ontop.

you dont need to take the whole wheel liner out, just put it on axel stands and work under the car, usually takes me about 20 mins to swap from start to finish.

I cant believe your car wouldnt come with the diaphram (dunno how to spell) the spring is still on the piston in your pics, theres no way that would have stayed on. its gone missing somewhere (probably flown out of your exhaust on fire  ) but if the cars pulling as it should then all should be back to normal. 

Also if the car is only 6 months old then whys it been fitted with the old type DV?? 

ha ha it took you a full day 1st time

Had my revision D fitted today to replace the C. No visible damage, car pulls better for sure.

For those that have theirs replaced at an indie or dealer, how much are you paying?
