Replacing my DV
«

Hey, just looking for some help regarding the Diverter Valve.
I have had the car revo'ed and I have heard that the DV on the MK5 gti is weak against the map.
Looking at buying this, I believe the "D" is the one to go for:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/F-A4-TT-A3-A5-VW-Beetle-Golf-Jetta-Passat-GTI-Diverter-Turbo-Cut-off-Valve-New-/201278413142?_trksid=p2054897.l4275
For £40 its probably worth just replacing my stock one.
Many thanks

Try Awesome GTI or even your local VW dealer. The one in the link is located in China, may take a while to arrive

I put a forge dv valve spacer (blow off valve) and it had a boost leak,
I then took the stock dv off to find the rubber diaphragm has split (is a common problem with the original valves) so I ordered a new on from VW themselves and it looks the same as that one you are looking at on eBay, it's a redesigned one so they don't split as easy and that cost me 40 pound so if I was you I would buy one from dealer for the same price or you can get a kit to repair yours to make it withstand the increase In boost
