Stock Diverter valves + modded cars

jcarlucci1 · 08-20-2009, 03:57 PM

Just wondering how many of you are fully modded (tune,intake, ic, dp's) and still using the stock diverter valves? Has anyone had issues with them at higher boost levels?

I know I didn't but I got the forge dvs neway. Waste of money I think. Felt no difference.

I'd say I'm fully modded ....... stock DVs in place & no problems whatsoever.

Only need for changing the DV,s are if your running higher boost levels that the stockers cant hold,or if you want the sound of BOV,s going PSSHHHHH.Save your money for something else.

Ya know, the funny thing is that when driving the AT in DS mode I get the WHOOOOSH sound as if I have a BOV .......... no complaints.

KWY91 · 08-20-2009, 09:31 PM

Meh, Just ordered a Synapse BoV, pfft, I would love to hear the WHOOOSH sound! Until i get sick of it, maybe I'll just settle for the Forge DVs!

The Forge DV's solved a problem in my car. My stock DV's were leaking and not holding higher boost levels which the turbo's couldnt overcome......

get them

gian335 · 08-21-2009, 12:02 AM

no problems here, still running stock dv's. I guess if u are have having problems with holding boost than I guess forge dv's will help the situation. If not than u'll be fine

jcarlucci1 · 08-21-2009, 01:47 AM

How did you know they were leaking?

E92Fan · 08-21-2009, 04:10 AM

is there an increase in noise with the Forge DVs ??

s1cke92 · 08-21-2009, 04:28 AM

oil residue around the seats and eratic boost logs on my procede. I knew I had a boost leak and the DV's were the 1st place I looked.

they can, I just wouldnt count on them to do it well. They were designed for 8psi, not twice that. The on/off boost transitions with the stock DV's are not as repeatable as the Forge units.
