Ok fellas, now all you veterans will laugh and say "of course". But when i bought my GTI back in November is was the first turbo car a have ever had. It seemed to hold boost nice and really flew the gears.
Thinking of having my re-map done soon, so decided just to replace my DV with a new Rev G version just for precaution and better results.
Not think it had a tear in my DV, took it off and wow was i shocked....it has a massive tear in it.
Now up till this point i really thought it was fine as the performance was good. Put the new one in and OMG !!!! It is a totally different car.... unbelievable the difference it made.
Know i know quite a few of you will be like as if you couldnt tell......But if you buy your car from a deal and you dont know what its suppose to feel like then it hard to tell, as in my case there were no tell tales sign that people have spoke about of here....like loss of power or a whistling noise.
Or well, just a message to other non-Vag Veterans, just change it anyway - you might be surprised like me.....Loving the GTI even more now.
Pics of tear:

Thanks for advise....bit most of them away when watching the Bradford vs Villa game ..... Wembley Next week....Whoop Whoop :pomppomp: :pomppomp:

Hmm, now this has got me thinking! This is my first turbo (had an Ibiza Cupra before which was twin charged, bought the GTI in November) and I've recently fitted a Neuspeed pipe and filter.
Since fitted the induction noise is ALOT louder and it does feel like it pulls that tiny bit harder, however along with the loud induction noise it now make a strange flutie noise as you go over 4k revs?
Thoughts :S
-
Any indication in the service book if its had it done.....Just one of them things, if you feel 10% unsure if it has a rip (like i did), then just change it, the new Rev-G felt so much better.
-
I'll be having a good read through tomorrow night to check as lucky I seem to have every scrap of paper for this car. If not I'll get it on the ramps at the weekend and I guess that will reveal the truth.

Sure will mate....Cant believe how big my split was and still felt fast.... :confused:
-
That's a massive split!
Still torn between the D and G!
-
G is the way forward, every one says it hold boost better, and its not pron top split with it been thicker material.

I get the flute sound from my itg maxogen mate, and I'm already running a rev d dv. Ive been told its quite normal for some intakes. I find mune does it more when it under load

You will hear the turbo through the aftermarket induction kit. On the standard airbox you shouldnt hear it whistle, also the noise will only be heard under load as the turbo doesnt boost when it has no load.
Whats the part number for this dv? Mine feels fast but ive never driven a boosted car or a goof gti before.
Mine is exactly the same speed as my mates stripped civiic type r with ss exhaust and induction, also a mates mk1 225 tt it sticks with, so all is fine right?
Edit:
Ok i take this back, got rinsed by the civic today :( must have a boost leak :signLOL:
