having experienced many DV's i would say it's all down to preferance, the piston style aftermarket DV's are good and hold boost well but the OEM DV's have a much smoother driving characteristic.

Personally i would run OEM in my own car for daily use..... but with a 3071 i'd go aftermarkert :)

Well, a good few hundred miles under its belt and some 1/4 mile action and its performing very well.... I hope this continues.

Oh, banged the Revo settings back to what they were before it went too... even better with the new DV  :happy2:
Sideways yo!

Using the revision D myself, is keeping up very well as I rag the car a lot. Holding 22psi peak very nicely.

Just bought the revision D as well.
Now, can anybody tell me how to fit it on an ED30 please!  :ashamed:
Looks like its just 3 bolts but I don't know where to find it on the car??? :confused:
I have a friend with some axle stands so I'm hoping thats a good start  :happy2:

Cheers!

No need for axel stands with the ED30.

It you take off the engine cover then it's right in front of the engine  :happy2:



Like you siad it's three bolts and one connector, job done  :pomppomp:

Fantastic! Cheers Steve!  :drinking:
Anything I need to do after fitting it or is it just plug and play?

Interesting you mention that turbo. Will revo supply software for it?
