Which uprated DV?
« on: June 17, 2009, 03:42:14 pm »
I've had the version G off today and it's looking pretty shagged already, gone all baggy - no holes, but I can feel it isn't working as well as when new.

So, time to upgrade me thinks. What's the other options aside from a Forge one?

You could either go for a Forge, a Forge or even a Forge DV...then again you may just be better with a Forge DV :laugh:

Don't resist, just come over to the Forge side young Danza :happy2:

go Revision D - new piston type from VW, had it on since january no probs

cheaper than forge no maintenance required which you do with forge and according to vag logs in the US holds boost longer than the forge

I paid around £40  :happy2:

they'll will probably put a 'g'one on if you ask for it to be replaced, as technically the 'd' is meant for the new tsi but as I said had it on since jan and no probs

according to my boost guage i hold 23 psi right up to 7krpm!  :happy2:

I've just ordered the TSI (rev D) VAG OEM DV [part number 06H 145 710 D] from my dealer. I'm removing my Forge DV - I find it a bit slow witted compared to the OEM one and even with the uprated spring it starts to bleed off boost at around 5K RPM.

OEM Piston DV all the way  :happy2:  :happy2:

I ended up ordering a D-type, whether I live to regret that remains to be seen...
