Yep, DV and PCV. They were the first things JKM checked once we knew there was a leak.

But surely the data logs would show a leak (higher % boost requests to compensate) if the DV was faulty?

Have Awesome either been on the rollers or taken your car out with a laptop?

Did Awesome check the Forge DV seal?

So you have the forge DV??

Did you check the O-ring and make sure the piston was well lubricated, if it were to stick then you would leak boost..

Could be worth running some requested and actual boost logs on Vag com..

so the forge DV needs lube? has anybody else reported that they stick? PCV....whats that?

The Forge DV stuck on mine and did just like your car is doing.  Take it apart, clean it and relube it up.  Plus check your seals as well.

Yes like a vtec.  More so when the car wasn't properly warm,  it would do it a few times then be ok until the car cooled down again.  Then it would act like a vtec again.  Basically the DV was sticking open, letting the boost past then suddenly shutting and giving full boost vtec styleeeee :driver:

I could just tell the DV was sticking, plus it had been on the car for 10k so it was due a clean and lube up.

....Speak to Forge 01452 380 999 - They're a helpful company.

Actually there's a guy at Awesome (Sarah's BF) who used to work at Forge - He should know something.

Forge recently updated mine free of charge even though I didn't have a problem. When I did have that boost leak prob, JKM tested mine with a new seal. And they showed me and talked through their data logging, but that doesn't help you.

Unscrew the end, take the piston and spring out giving a good clean and relube with the grease that came  with your forge DV.
You don't have to take the DV of the turbo to relube it. :happy2:
