thats it mate, each to there own. I think if it was all the same colour then it would look worse. I personally think its a good contrast.

There isnt really much of one lol forge say it can improve responce when coming off and back on the throttle.  i have done it, it makes the diverter valve noise more echo'ey (SP?) which i like!

The only reason i have done it is because i have the forge front mount.  I wouldnt pay just to relocate the dv

i heard its because when its round the back its putting hot hair back into the system because no cold air gets to it and when its re-located to the front it gets cold air making the diverted air colder/denser. (something along them lines anyway)

I've read that cars perform better with the DV closer to the turbo. :D

Post by: barry-gti on 20 March 2009, 22:03

yeah me too lol. but the cold air things sounds about right. last time i stopped driving and felt my DV it was roasting

Title: Re: Nice engine
Post by: Hulmie on 20 March 2009, 22:30

relocating it is supposed to make it last longer due to the heat. But like said if you relaocte it the re-circulating air will have a long way to travel back into the system and for that short sec when you change gear i dont think it wud make any performance difference when relocated.

It will also stop the top pipe splitting on the top due to the engine cover!

Least its a good excuse to have another nice coloured pipe drapped all the way around your engine bay  :smiley:
