Stock diverter valves just can't handle performance upgrades. Add a little boost and they get all weak in the knees and go to pieces.
Forge knows this. That's why they've engineered boost-hardy blow off and diverter valves tough enough to take the pressure, without blowing their lids.
Okay, maybe its not really much a "pong" noise as more of a reverb noise. I just watched the video again and I can clearly hear a reverb type noise before the trademark woosh.
How does the upgraded DV fit with the BOV in the 2012 GLI does it come with instructions on how to install. i was looking at my Gli and the DV and it looked like as if i got the BOV it wouldnt fit ?
You guys should direct that question to a Forge tech... No offense to Andy, but I'm sure he's a sales rep for ECS, not a tech for the gear.... Just my .02. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings not my intentions...
OK, how do I know if I have a bad one or crumby one. Do I need it for everyday driving. And will it take care of the lag sometimes I get when entering a freeway.
The rubber diaphragm in the original diverter valve is prone to failure, even under stock boost pressure. You can see loss in throttle response and or CEL when the old unit fails. Restore lost boost with a new unit! :thumbup:
