DV+ ?!

[MarkyN]

I get bored and I start hunting through ebay for things to buy the golf. These things always seem to pop up.


I noticed that forge also do one too, half the price of this.

Can anyone shed some light on these?

What do they do? Do I need one? Should I get one? Is it just the matter of plug and play kinda modification?

From what I've heard most people go for the REV D for K03 REV G for K04 which is why I went for REV D on mine. Quite a few of these have been shown to leak boost and be a bit temperamental. I was told to steer clear of the forge DV.

Fair enough mate!

My next question, as you can tell am not up to scratch with the engines, how can I tell which one is mine? I got a 2005 GTi DSG [Non Flappy Paddle]

  thanks mate! Good read! In 2 minds though about getting one ordered. Its a bit of a 50\50 on what people think after fitting it

[GrayMK5GTI]

In that case, buy a Rev D or G and spend the £50 you save on a night on the town 

Either way, you get a DV that will work

got one fitted on mine. love it. the car actually feels more responsive and just wants to pull so much better. id recommend it but its how much you wanna spend.

I noticed an improvement in throttle response with a DV+ too, but I'm also getting compressor stall with it (the 'cha cha cha cha' noise when closing the throttle), which suggests to me the flow through the DV+ is inadequate, or it's not reactive enough in mapped cars.   Mine's standard bar the DV+ and remap.  I might try reoiling the piston, but I would have thought the PCV would keep it lubed.

Loads of noises come from my car I just roll with it, people think and read too much into things at times on forums
