I'm interested in this as well

Interested in this also...

Would defo be interested in one of these as aim having boost problems at the moment I have a revision g in but still whistling like mad on the turbo spooling any ideas guys

[xjay1337]

I would like to see back to back runs on the same dyno between a new Rev G and this as I don't believe a healthy rev G would lose anything to this.

Bearing in mind the cost of what is basically a few bolts and a fancy diaphram you're looking at nearly the price of 2 and a half OEM Rev G DVs all of which come with the solenoid housing!! 

I'm interested in it but until someone like Niki gives it his blessing from his experience then I'll be sticking with Rev G on a yearly replacement.

If this new device can be proven 100% reliable then its a great advantage.
The rev G can still split. If your on a trackday or something, and the diaphram splits, then you day is over.
Aditionally, on k03 and some bit turbo setups, the DV is very hard to replace due to its awkward location, so for me changing the DV once per year is a no-no.

Yes the Rev G can still split but rarely does it just go POP immediately. It would be a small hole at first and then develops from there. If you have a boost gauge you can easily spot any problems. It took 20 minutes to change my DV on my gti (so k03s) but yes it's kind of awkward.

You can just do a DV relocation if it bothers you but £100 for something which is pretty unproven is a lot of money.

If its longevity and sealing can be proven then its worth the money all day long, but at this price it's going to take a while to get a broad spectrum of user opinions.

They should offer the forum 100 at half price so we can do their marketing for them.

Revision G DV is better than S3 revision D DV?

Cheers for the link Mike

I just went out straight away to see what the difference ( if any ) was and can re-iterate most of what has already been said, with the addition of confirming mine held a little more boost at the top end. I guess this is due to me using a boost controller which works off a fixed duty cycle on a setting to make target boost, so like for like duty cycle gave me a little more boost, which must mean my OEM DV was leaking boost a little. Response seems pretty OEM, but is definitely smoother on part throttle, where before it was a little fidgety/twitchy.

I'd definitely give it the thumbs up if I dropped an 11.xxx on Monday on the 1/4 mile

id be up for one of these too.
