Title: Change Atmospheric DV for Recirc Valve Help!
Post by: Alan16ac on 20 January 2012, 21:05
Okay, so I've been informed that my car has an atmospheric DV and this isn't good!
How hard is it to change this for a Recirc Valve?
Here's the valve that's on it, please help asap, as I'm worried now lol!

Its easy to change. Get a forge 007 (with yellow spring). What are the exhaust clamps on (a boost pipe). If so change them. You could be loosing boost there.  :wink:

Have a good look over your boost pipes and change all the exhaust clamps. Your DV will be fine until you get a forge one .I used to run blowoff valve on my AGU .But you dont know what spring is in it. Yours must be mapped to get 11psi so get a yellow spring with it.  :wink:

Okay, will order that asap.
Am I going to be able to fit it myself, I'm NO mechanic!

Shall I use hose clamps for the pipes?
