What diverter valve?
« on: June 26, 2015, 04:13:53 pm »
Recently car has been feeling laggy, and sounds like its got a dump valve. I replaced a leaky intercooler pipe which i thought was the problem, noise is still there,  So guessing the divertor valve has gone, last time i checked it i think it has got the revision G, is there a better one to buy, or should i go for the same one again?

I've been looking loads and reading loads into this, from what I can see the tuners etc all say that the revision G is the best one out of the bunch to get, holds the best boost.  Some people change their DV valves once a year with a service.

I was looking into getting the DV+ but even that leaks apparently, so it goes back to the Rev G.

The D is the gate one, leaks quite a lot that one does, doesn't fail but doesn't hold very well (so I read lol).

I've ordered the Rev G from Awesome, changing once a year ain't no issues.

I'd go for the gfb dv+... Loads of happy users and there's been no leak for a couple of years apparently. The old one used to leak but they revised and replaced the crappy old one. New one is awesome imo

You should be set with a version-G.
I've been using an AWE DV( http://www.awe-tuning.com/awe-b8-dv )...it is a vacuum-operated Porsche DV. It has been spot on even when my boost exceeded 25psi with a past tune.

That looks like a good bit of kit. Got a picture of it fitted up? Also, is it for both K03 and K04 turbo engines?

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

I'm really surprised so far with what owners are expecting to cover once a year during a service; that's now a £40 DV and a £40 cam follower every 10k excluding basic service items! That's ridiculous.

My old 93 MR2 turbo with 275bhp running an HKS BOV never needs stuff like this!

Surely there is a realistic long term solution for the DV?

You can run both oem or their DV on this DV relocate kit when upgraded from a K03 to a K04, but not sure if their DV will fit where the oem K03 DV is. I would assume it would since both fit the relocate kit, but then there's the location and the heat involved being turbo mounted on a K03.
