How to Relocate K03 DV to K04 Position Tutorial

[Hedge]

Even the Forge DV is a servicable item Robin so for ease of access then yes.

[vRS Carl]

I had the forge DV before I relocated and had to get a service kit for it   

This incorporated a new spring, seals and grease. So as Ian says the relocation is best for servicing needs.

As I said earlier now that the DV design has changed there is no real need until you go to K04.

You beat me to it Carl with another good how to:)!  Did this 2 nights ago on my vRS and was about to put a tutorial up.  I used the Forge blank for the turbo.  Saves having another DV.  I didnt do the wiring extension (I was too impatient to order the plugs) so I just pulled the wiring back and moved it to the front.  The reason I did this is I will be going K04 soon and the dump noise through the filter is much better!!!

Parts I used:



Forge Blank:



Bung insert for the 25mm take off:



Finished:

do you have the part nos for all the parts please?

Yes mate I just re-routed the extension loom down to the original connector.

I did see a Thread with some part numbers for the extension loom, is this how you made it??

You dont have the numbers do you??

BDMAlex you send about rerouting the cables is it long enough just to reroute??

Thanks Guys

I built the Loom that Carl uses from OEM parts.  Not sure if I've still got the numbers, I'll look.

Brill thank you. Did it all cost much?

Not an enormous amount, no.

You'll also need some decent cable to make the length.

[vRSAlex]

With the wiring on mine and the ones I do at work, you just need to pull with wiring back to the start of the coilpack wirings plastic housing.  That gives the perfect length to route the wiring round the right side of the engine and onto the DV.

Using a wiring extension is faster and easier, but costs more and imo doesnt look as neat/oem.

Depends how neat & OCD you are
