Title: Which upgrade Diverter Valve should I buy (2.0T FSI Stage 1)?
Post by: Rupert on July 14, 2011, 01:28:09 pm

Hi guys,

Taking an Ed 30 2.0T FSI engine up to 300+bhp I have been advised I should upgrade the diverter valve.

Which one do you recommend I go for? I have seen the Forge one- is it worth the money?

Thanks in advance  :happy2:

Just get the OEM Revision D one. Job done and about £50 from a dealer.

No need for the Forge one anymore :happy2:

Part No. is 06H 145 710 D

Yep as above....i have an edition 30 running at 370bhp, and i am running the OEM Audi s3 uprated divertor valv. The forge divertor valve actually DOES NOT work on the edition 30's. A great extra in addition to the OEM DV is a FOrge Actuator valve...it gives the 'woosh' effect of releasing turbo pressure which the OEM DV does not. It literally slots into the chain!! :-)
