Post by: pekarGTI on November 13, 2015, 06:31:44 pm
accidentally ran into this link diverter valve
So I'd like your opinion on what you think about this?
whether this  worth buying or not.

Its a copy of a DV+  it's not an atmospheric DV or a BOV

It's not a full replacement DV either - still need the OE solenoid. All it will do is leak. Stick with a Rev G

Wow, the quality of that looks amazing, you can tell from the finish it will give an airtight seal

Today I bought it, I did it out of curiosity to see what it looks like and whether it's worth,I'll put the picture when it arrives at my place.

I've just replaced a DV+ for an OEM item. You simply can't go wrong with the Rev G.

I think that this quote from the item description on the website says it all....

"Do moving parts is different from the original factory as a whole, moving piston RUNTEK 710 f will do some broken up into two sections, one is holding/unloading mechanical parts, one is the original electronic "

...a quality part that will last for years from someone who really understands how your car works :-)

If it has holes in it then it's a blow off valve and you still reuse the oem divertor valve which fits on top of this.

yes, there are holes here image

because you thought that this should be fitted with oem part?

Oh that's not a blow off valve lol Thought it had holes on the housing side like the forge one I've got sitting in the cupboard wasting away   :jumping:

But also not recommended as it's a cheap replica of the GFB + so would have bought that if anything.

Should have mentioned hope it works out for you and you don't have any boost issue's or leaks with it... Let us know how you get on over the weeks months mate.

impressions, more than satisfied,Old divert valve was not torn eraser, but in cycles up to the red line had a pressure loss, followed by 0.8 bar when it reaches the red line falls to 0.5 bar pressure.

new DV +, there is no loss of pressure :smiley:Now the pressure is always the same 0.8 bar up to the red line :smiley:

At least it works. Keep us posted on the reliability of the knock off. I preferred to get the genuine item. :smiley:

My impressions are that the GFB DV+ is a bit better than the Rev G to recover boost and reaches maximum boost a bit faster. I hope it lasts long enough to compensate the higher price that I paid for it. :smiley:

Post by: pekarGTI on April 10, 2016, 06:01:10 pm
I will follow a few days whether it will be fine as it is now.
If you start to lose the pressure, I will replace it with the original GFB DV+

R-Tech have been doing tests with the genuine and copy items recently. Copy items are extremely poor in comparison and prone to leaking.
Title: Re: diverter valve COPY
Post by: Dan_FR on April 12, 2016, 08:48:10 am
It's not just the leaking - the quality control isn't there and the machining tolerances are very fine. The cheap ones were seizing and not opening/closing as they should

Also expect a fault code to be stored in the ECU if you use both springs. Won't get an EML though but the underlying code will be stored. I think I have 3 or 4 codes stored now for various things I've removed or changed

If it's kevlar reinforced rubber then it should be fine and not tear as easily as the oem ones.

Any update on the success of this replica part?

Would be interesting to know as I would keep one for spares lol
Im still running my GFB nearly two years on and no one mentioned any boost leaks when getting mapped so I reckon it's all good so far  :popcornsoda:

Sorry for resurecting this old thread, especialy in my first post.

I'm very curious of the impressions during the usage of this fake DV+. Was it worth buying it or did the user got rid of it eventually because it didnlt perform as intended or because it caused some problems.

Thanks in advance.

I can shed some light on this as I actually installed one.

It worked perfectly and I had no problems, it allows the boost to be held between gear changes, which means your straight back on the boost and the car feels faster.

Great mod for the money and would recommend it
