    Diverter Valve Replacements

    Hey guys,

    Quick heads up, MRT Performance is having a sale on it's gfb dv+ on eBay.

    Price is $126.55 delivered. RRP is $149 and I think gfb was charging $12 delivery on top if purchased off their site.

    I've just ordered mine. Seems like a decent bit of kit as reviewed by Lucas on vwgolf.net

    Received it, tried to install it, no go. When they installed my forge spacer they went so crazy on the bolts they just will not budge. The actual Allen head flew off somewhere under there too, no idea where.

    Off to get a hoist on Thursday and get this thing done. Alternatively, might give Arthur from exoticar a call tomorrow and pop by after work lol

    Nope, forge spacer is coming off. This is more of an uprated diverter valve.

    Reports?

    Not really sure if I need one of these or not or what it will do for me.... I keep thinking that maybe my OEM one might be getting a lazy spring after 130,000km...

    Thanks for the link to the discounted DV+.

    I've got of these in my Golf R and rate it - holds boost better and no needs to worry about leaks. Have just bought another for my GTI.

    Here is a link to a thread i started for this product last year incase anyone is interested: http://www.vwgolf.net.au/showthread....e-using-it-yet
