Swapping DV made care Soooooo Much Better !!! (badly torn DV)
« on: February 17, 2013, 07:17:01 pm »
Ok fellas, now all you veterans will laugh and say "of course". But when i bought my GTI back in November is was the first turbo car a have ever had. It seemed to hold boost nice and really flew the gears.

Thinking of having my re-map done soon, so decided just to replace my DV with a new Rev G version just for precaution and better results.

Not think it had a tear in my DV, took it off and wow was i shocked....it has a massive tear in it.

Now up till this point i really thought it was fine as the performance was good. Put the new one in and OMG !!!! It is a totally different car.... unbelievable the difference it made.

Know i know quite a few of you will be like as if you couldnt tell......But if you buy your car from a deal and you dont know what its suppose to feel like then it hard to tell, as in my case there were no tell tales sign that people have spoke about of here....like loss of power or a whistling noise.

Or well, just a message to other non-Vag Veterans, just change it anyway - you might be surprised like me.....Loving the GTI even more now.

Pics of tear:

Do the diesel versions have similar problems?
How hard can it be?

Hmm, now this has got me thinking! This is my first turbo (had an Ibiza Cupra before which was twin charged, bought the GTI in November) and I've recently fitted a Neuspeed pipe and filter.

Since fitted the induction noise is ALOT louder and it does feel like it pulls that tiny bit harder, however along with the loud induction noise it now make a strange flutie noise as you go over 4k revs?

Thoughts :S

Any indication in the service book if its had it done.....Just one of them things, if you feel 10% unsure if it has a rip (like i did), then just change it, the new Rev-G felt so much better.

I'll be having a good read through tomorrow night to check as lucky I seem to have every scrap of paper for this car. If not I'll get it on the ramps at the weekend and I guess that will reveal the truth.

G is the way forward, every one says it hold boost better, and its not pron top split with it been thicker material.
