No its defiantey not the spacer, its a complete "forge" replacement dump valve. And it sounds sh**e.
Hence me having to buy a new diverter valve and trying to work out how to re-plumb the little pipes that come off of it.
Markyed30:
Are you sure its not both the Forge and spacer may be worth posting a pic as if it was just forge it wouldn't Anoy you or do you also have an induction kit fitted ?

Hi I haven't had a chance to take a photo and upload it but I looked and it's definately all one piece. 100% not a spacer and recirculating DV.

Anyway:
Remove the engine cover.
There are 2 pipes that go from the DV to the actuator, then an additional pipe that goes from the actuator to a T connector on the vacuum line. Remove the T connector and reconnect the vacuum line.
Remove the wire that links the actuator to the VW harness then plug the harness into your Rev G diverter once it is bolted in place.
Easy peasey. :happy2:

Finally found some time this evening to take the dump valve out.
Followed your instructions and it couldn't have been any easier, much appreciated, thank you.
I have taken a photo of what I removed but haven't got a clue how to upload pictures on this site!

You need to use a image hosting site like photobucket and then copy the links across onto the website.
Did you work out whether it had the venting spacer, if you look on the Forge website you can see both parts.
