New oem 'G' Diverter Valve fitted
GTIjames:
morning all,
had a few bits put on the car at jkm on monday good service as always :drinking:
was always a bit worried that my diverter valve would go at some point with the mods i had done and noticed that the new oem revised edition dv was out and for £38 I thought you cant go wrong so had it fitted
looks alot more purposeful than the original one so fingers crossed should hold up and fitting takes no more than 1/2 hour.
Is difficult to tell if there is any difference with it on as I had the apr fuel pump fitted at the same which has been more noticeable :rolleye:
a cheaper option than the forge and it is of course a official VAG prouduct so for those worried about warranties is probably the best option, and is a must if you are mapping a standard gti with the dv valve next to the turbo, but if you want to fit a boost gauge then you will need the forge dv.

Thats not the G revision, its the new piston type for the new TSI engine
GTIjames:
it fits the mk5 gti/ed30/a3/s3/cupra etc not sure about the new tsi though..
fitted nicely on my car too
just going by what i was told - it replaces the diaphram which was prone to breaking and causing boost problems.

If you read this post http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=104575.0 you will notice I went for the g revision rather than the new D version. Basically it seems if it fits its lucky as its designed for a totally different engine.
vRStu:
The D revision is also listed as being a replacement part for BWA engines.
