Well recently I've had a few issues with the OEM DV and so decided to look for a suitable replacement that didn't cost the earth., but did everything I wanted. I came across an Australian company called Go Fast Bits and they had an excellent solution. I'll not try to explain myself, so here is the link......

At £105 delivered I thought it was worth a punt and ordered on Tuesday and was delivered today.....good service ticks another box.
Took under ten minutes to fit :happy2:
Works perfectly. The differences I've seen so far are that the flutter on lift off is slightly changed and every now and then a full power up shift used to have a bit of a pause, but now the shifts are seamless again with a shortened burp!
Here are a few pics.....

^^ heard nothing but good reviews on this so far! Some back to back dyno's (think Rich Wig is on this) will prove it holds the boost :smiley:
I have seen it on PSI's website for less than £100 inc VAT though :ashamed: - works out about the same if you have to post though :sad1:

No I'm not on it. I don't believe it will give me any gains so until its proven.....

It definitely holds the boost Rich :happy2:

But so does rev G... And unless the revG is leaking, then it's impossible for it to gain anything.
