After a bit of reading these dv+ seem to be pretty damn good an being in a car pre and post fitment, it's clearly evident (stage 2+ Jetta) that. They do what they say. However, those with stock cars and even stage 1 tunes probably don't need to fork out for one.
Stage 2+ Intercooler Carbon Intake Downpipe Swaybar DV+ Remsa.
All good for now, but like gavs said if it's not stage 2 tuned there's no need for it.
ordered one last night : )
running stage 2 so we'll see how it goes
2012 Volkswagen Polo GTI (Shadow Blue) | Current Upgrades - APR Stage 2 Tune | GFB DV+ | HP Cold Air Intake | OKADA Plasma Direct Coil Packs | HP Exhaust | HP DQ200 Tune | Whiteline Rear Sway Bar | Uprated Engine Mounts Planned Upgrades - | Coil Overs | HP Intercooler |
Woosh? No, it's not for those that want to draw attention to themselves.
You do get a noise that sounds like the engine is detonating. A bit disconcerting at first.
Read the info at the GFB site.
