John's Tornado Red GTI. *Updated with BLQ's*
letlifeburn:
Got the car lifted this aft. Cousin got some ramps from work, then forgot the car is quite a bit lower than the tranny vans they get up on them, so had to take apart the shelving in his garage as support beams to get me up. Then had the struggle of loosening off the bolts for the DV, which I have the 'B' version, does anyone have a video of the 'G' version just so I can hear the sound?
After a bit of work we finally got it off and fitted the Forge DV, now I'm not sure I like it to be honest, my cousin said it sounded ace, to me it sounded like a bus, and its even making the "tsss" noise at 1500 revs and less in some instances, is that normal?
Ill try and get a video to see what you guys think of it.

I do like the sound the 'B' gave off though, i just wanted to slightly amplify it, but I think I've gone to far, its a nice sound, but when its making a noise at 1k I feel like a tw@ haha even if it is a really quiet "sssssssss"
I've heard mixed things then, I thought a lot of people were running the 'D' because it was better mechanism or something? If I was to put the standard 'B' 'D' or 'G' valve on and a new intake would that make the nice standard GTI "tssss" but a little bit more prominent?

Just a quick video of it, taken on my iphone so not the best quality.

Go for a G valve with a nice induction kit buddy.
I might be selling my RAM air kit if interested. Nice induction and tsss sound.
