Niki put up a load of pictures on Facebook (TFSI Tuning) demonstrating the differences (will need to search on a PC to find it).

Obvious signs of a fake were the sticker on the box looking distinctly sh*t i.e. very basic and not having a barcode. The billet body of the fakes had 4 holes compared to the genuine which has 3 (perhaps the copy was based on an old design?). The brass piston on the fakes had a very poor finish compared to the genuine item too.

As for the old versions, I believe it had a different piston and plunger, and they may have been a different colour but not 100% sure.

To be honest I would just save up the cash for a new one from AMD

That one is young enough to be the last revision, AFAIK.

Ive found someone who bought two from demon tweeks in march this year, he doesnt know if its the latest revision though, does anyone know how to tell if its the latest revision?


pesky pesky pesky always asking questions  :signLOL:

The revised version has a brass colour piston and stronger springs and the older version had a black piston. Also the picture you've posted has a date on it   :doh:

If it was bought in March it should be the latest revision. 

Don't confuse the plunger and the piston. Piston is brass and the plunger is black

So are these reccomended by R-Tech? They check the DV anyway so I imagine turning up with one (asking first) an getting it installed before a stage 1 re map should be ok?
MK5 Gti stock, not sure what DV is fitted. Isn't it a pita on the mk5 to check?

It is a pain to check on a K03 GTI, but R-tech do this before all Stage 1 tuning as you say. If you turn up with one they'll probably fit it there and then if you ask them as it only takes seconds once the DV is out.

Niki has tested these and found there is no loss of performance compared with a G, but the valve response (throttle changes) is much improved. I would wholly recommend it on a K03 as a fit and forget item - I got fed up of changing Rev G's every few months

Finally installed a VWR intake to compliment stage 2. So far everything is great EXCEPT that ridiculous whine you get on boost.

I've done a bit of research and many have said that the DV+ removes the whine? Some have also said the Rev D or G also gets rid of the whine.

Can anyone confirm any of the above?

I have a VWR intake and a DV+. What whine are your referring to? The sound of the DV releasing pressure when you take your foot off the gas pedal?

The whine is a K03 thing....... It's a harmonic resonance caused by the intake - some cars do it, some don't. The DV+ will not make any difference, neither will changing to a Rev D or G. Don't forget the valve is fully closed on WOT when the whine is present.......

Adjusting the intake can help though. The first intake I made for my car whined terribly - horrid noise. I ended up chopping and changing pipe angles & lengths until I completely eradicated it
