Waste of time and money IMO. Just buy a intake system and with that comes the noise most people are after and proven bhp gains, no loss of power. It may cost more but your getting bhp increase the noise that your after and some eye candy when under the bonnet!  :happy2:

I had a spacer on my FR which sounded loud and nice for a time.
Anyway I fitted one to my cupra and it was so quiet I removed it again.
Has anyone used the Forge valve with built in spacer? The vac operated one.

Oh Mike no switching available on stage 2 either!!  :confused:

I was given one.  Fitted it and took it off a little after because it sounds GAY.



I'm surprised you didn't fit a second one.  :booty:

X2..

I did wonder what you meant by sticking open.. its basically a middle piece with three holes that the air rushes out to create the phhhhh noise..


At the end of the day all personal opinions - i enjoyed the novelty and now.moving on - plus i have a intake now :)

Any comparisons available yet anyone?
Ive got the forge valve for mine which sounds quite nice and works well.
I've removed it as its going into Seat tomorrow for service.

If your diverter valve is getting stuck  (or you believe it is ) , you can buy uprated springs from Forge to replace with the one inside your OEM diverter valve  (piston type). These are available in four strengths depending on your boost requirements and are represented by colour.
