I currently have a Rev D on mine and although it not leaking boost, I'm trying to be proactive for once and nip it in the bud before it gets to that stage. Saying that I just found a nail in my tyre that I had just fitted last week and had several people coming to me at the local asda to tell me my tyre was flat so might have to spend my money elsewhere!  :doh:

Get the rev g at least as much better than the rev d if staying standard

Sorry irish_ram I'd say save up amd just get the GFB dv + and end of IMHO  :happy2: extra bit of money but less chances of leaking boost and mentioned.

Get that nail sorted first and hope it's not too close to the edge of the tyre or won't be repairable.

Would be interested to see stats of GFB+ as I have heard no real advantages over a Rev G to be honest  :confused:

GFB+ works perfect on mine. I replaced mine from a good working Rev G and could instantly feel a much better pull in each gear as well as less lag with quick gear shifts.

^^^ That's exactly how my car feels now  :jumpmove: don't care what others think but I say GFB dv + is a great mod to have.

Mine is a full circle light as well when not on brakes. Someone must have done it in the past if it isn't stock!
