cheungy:
does look good, not surpised Mike already has one though!  :P

I'll add it to my leon once the throttle body problem is resolved... I know what you mean when the needle flutters/surge even* on the boost gauge as I get it on mine (REV G)

Good review  :happy2:

Hi Rich
I think you want one of these but don't want to buy one. The man from GFB said he'll give you one to trial
For everyone else if we can sell 5 then I can offer 5% off - I expect I can also save on shipping - just need to get a quote from the post office - special delivery is £8 but signed for will be about £6
For 10 or more then we can do 10% off the the price
cheers

Julian

It has been reported that the D type can leak boost.

I think it was R-tech Nick that bench tested some D valves.

The plastic piston valves leak so badly you can blow through the DV with them in closed position. Tests in Holland  on another thread reveal they are equivalent to a 6mm hole in the intercooler. Now of course peak boost will still be achieved with a 6mm hole in the intercooler BUT the turbo will be working harder and therefore generating more heat and the engine will be using more fuel. The lack of flutter and surge are the same benefits claimed with the Respons TMS valves but they're vacuum valves and you wouldn't install one of those, where you have the choice of superior factory solenoid control together with the leak proof and reliable DV+ piston.
