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

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.

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.

today installed DV +





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:

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+
