Title: Which uprated DV?
Post by: tony_danza on June 17, 2009, 03:42:14 pm: I've had the version G off today and it's looking pretty shagged already, gone all baggy - no holes, but I can feel it isn't working as well as when new.

So, time to upgrade me thinks. What's the other options aside from a Forge one?

Post by: Hurdy on June 17, 2009, 04:21:24 pm: You could either go for a Forge, a Forge or even a Forge DV...then again you may just be better with a Forge DV :laugh:

Don't resist, just come over to the Forge side young Danza :happy2:

Post by: tony_danza on June 17, 2009, 04:28:25 pm: I believe there may also be an EVOMS one....

Post by: GTIjames on June 17, 2009, 04:36:42 pm: go Revision D - new piston type from VW, had it on since january no probs

cheaper than forge no maintenance required which you do with forge and according to vag logs in the US holds boost longer than the forge

I paid around Ã‚Â£40 :happy2:

Post by: GTIjames on June 17, 2009, 04:48:22 pm: they'll will probably put a 'g'one on if you ask for it to be replaced, as technically the 'd' is meant for the new tsi but as I said had it on since jan and no probs

according to my boost guage i hold 23 psi right up to 7krpm! :happy2:

Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: Mark_GTIV on June 19, 2009, 03:11:23 pm: I've just ordered the TSI (rev D) VAG OEM DV [part number 06H 145 710 D] from my dealer. I'm removing my Forge DV - I find it a bit slow witted compared to the OEM one and even with the uprated spring it starts to bleed off boost at around 5K RPM.

OEM Piston DV all the way :happy2: :happy2:

Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: Golfster S on June 24, 2009, 10:24:38 pm: I have the Forge fitted as well, havn't really noticed much difference in the whoosh factor, then again, I had the Turbo back Non Res Milltek fitted at the same time....... :signLOL:
Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: tony_danza on June 25, 2009, 09:12:36 am: I ended up ordering a D-type, whether I live to regret that remains to be seen...
Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: Jaywoo-GTI on June 25, 2009, 09:23:40 am: D types fit early AXX engines as i have on eon mine, And the can also be modified to fit a forge spacer valve.
Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: revo carl on June 25, 2009, 09:55:23 am: 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 :)
Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: tony_danza on July 01, 2009, 04:29:20 pm: 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:
Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: andeep on July 02, 2009, 02:06:32 pm: Using the revision D myself, is keeping up very well as I rag the car a lot. Holding 22psi peak very nicely.
Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: SKAVIA on July 19, 2009, 09:51:21 am: 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!
SKAVIA
Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: SteveP on July 19, 2009, 10:27:27 am: 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:

Anything I need to do after fitting it or is it just plug and play?

Post by: Poppa Dom on July 20, 2009, 11:01:55 am: Plug and Play :happy2:

Title: Re: Which uprated DV?
Post by: tony_danza on July 20, 2009, 11:40:56 am: nah - used the ass dyno instead... was pound for pound with my mate's R36 in a 4th & floor it test, now I sail right past him.

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