Just a heads up . . . .

The DV+ that's on the market at the moment is only really suitable for k03. It's made to suit the compressor housing.
From what I heard the k04 version is still in its design stages and will have a slightly larger piston to suit the remote DV housing on s3/ed30 etc. the difference is minimal but boost leaks and boost flutter have been reported on mapped k04 cars.
The k04 version should be available in just 2 weeks though apparently.

LOL..... so anyone whos put this on a K04, is using the wrong part! 

[Vasekk]

This is bit strange. Mike and Hurdy have it on K04 without problem.

It looks like it was originally designed to suit both k03 and k04, but since a small number of k04 cars have had issues they have since discovered that the bore in the remote DV housing is slightly bigger than the bore in the k03 compressor housing

I don't care what the GFB DV+ says. There was something bugging me but I couldn't put my finger on it as boost was slightly better than on the OEM DV, so it works. However Steve Jr suggested trying the manual Evoms DV and I gained another 2.5psi for the same duty cycle. The car felt stronger again over the GFB and sounded a gazillion times better ( too much sound for pussies! )
On a slight down side the GFB is better on part throttle, but that's about it really.
I can only surmise it must be leaking under load, but the advertising bumf says it should take anything you throw at it!!

If this is designed for a K03 and they are bringing out a K04 one then I was mis-sold as it said on their website that it was good for the Golf R!

Ok i will be the first to say it. 

So what are they going to call this new revision when it comes out. .

Some K04 cars have been causing problems. The solution is a stronger spring and this will be supplied with all the kits in future. For anyone having a problem with a K04 they can get the modified spring from their supplier.
