right as some of you know the car is going in for a remap and milltek cat back on saturday (non res :evilgrin:). i know on the older GTI'S they had problems with the standard dump valve spliting on them. am i right in saying that the new ones (58 plate) have the revised valves on them so shouldnt split?
thanks
-
The material the valve is made from makes it prone to tearing though probably less so with the newer version.
Do remember the original valve is made to compliment the lower boost levels of the standard engine and not a remapped one.
-
I
have had a revision 'g' valve on my 57 plate GTi, so I'm sure you will have one also on your 58 plate :smiley: :smiley:
-
I have the newest revision of DV, which is G I believe. I've been running Revo stage 1 for 9 months now with no problems whatsoever to report. :happy2:
-
there you go. Wouldn't have thought vw would change it if it 'copes' with standard powered gti's
-
cheers :)

....
I know of standard GTI's which have split the plastic diaphram on the DV, so it's not exclusively remapped cars that can have the problem. also, there are remapped cars running fine so far with the VW stock DV.
The fact is that the VW DV is a weak link in the chain and if you are remapped it's a sensible precaution to fit a Forge DV instead, but it's not essential.
HTH :happy2:
-
Stock DV's on the standard GTI's are allgedly more prone to splitting as the DV is located directly next to the turbo and so suffers from heat soak. The ED30 DV is located remotely at the front of the engine and so is less prone to heat soak and damage. If you fit a Forge DV you must remember that it isn't a fit and forget item. Every year it is advisable to open up the DV and lubricate it so the plunger/cylinder remains free. :smiley:

Your going to love the remap got to be the best mod for me!! I think the dv valve is kind of hit and miss really, had my car mapped about 6 months and no probs atm

Glad to hear that you are enjoying it! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
I know exactly how you feel........!
Took my car out tonight for a little run, and it was like the modifying fairies have done something to it during the day, as it felt frigging fast!!!! Fastest its felt since the remap by far!! Strange!

....Not too strange, Chris - It's probably because the air is so cool and crisp. :happy2:

Well then it must particularly like 9.5 degrees C then! I take her out most nights for a quick drive (just to get out of the house, so that I stay sane! And to take advantage of the colder air), but tonight it just felt absolutely rapid!

I find this every now and then even on warm days so cant put it down to temp. about 4 times in 7 months the car has felt amazing ultra smooth and rapid, DSG just blips its changes ultra smooth with a extra little note. God knows why but its definitely not in my head. :driver:

^^^^
It sounds like something deep and spiritual :grin:

Yeah I definitely feel the same! And its not even as if I am being unfair and driving on different roads...I pretty much do the same route all the time, so i have a direct comparison!
StRaNgE.....!
Anyway, sorry to abduct yet another thread!
NEWEY - pics, videos, etc etc etc! We want to hear about the mods!! :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver: :driver:

That Milly fills the hole in the valance nicely :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
Digressing for one moment, I took a friend out in my car last night (he's just bought an E-Type Jag :love:) and for the first time in weeks it was dry :jumpmove: car felt rapid!! :evilgrin:
-

im not sure if im honest mate its just the standard GTI milltek so i guess. it fills the hole perfect though.

its the APS map i think it was custom code map they used
-
ye, the exhaust does look to fit well! hope your enjoying it! ;)

Completely transforms the car. It made me realised when I had mine done how dull the car felt on a standard map! Prepare to be spending lots and lots of money. I still want more POWER! :happy2: :laugh: :jumpmove:

what you need Tom, is a 4-speed gearbox, you never use 5th & 6th, just think of the weight you could save :P
