    Other then sites like turbosmart and Forge who are going to obviously say its bad so they can sell there product. There isnt much on the internet about it. Other then retards arguing over the internet about it. Ive done it on all my cars. And will continue to do it. Other car. GT42R + 30psi. Not a problem.

    Don't want to start a new thread. Can someone tell me how my car will benefit from a APR R1 diverter valve, in simple mans terms - what does it do?
    I have APR V2 software, SEAT air hose etc...

    Thanks

    The APR valve has a bit more tension on the spring and is all metal... With a remap, under the increased intake pressures, the factory plastic Bosch valve can fail or sometimes leak slightly...

    I am fairly sure the 911 turbo's run the same DV as the 1.8t so that will give you an indication of the quality of the OEM Bosch item. IMHO there are better ways to spend $200, only replace your DV if it leaks/breaks
