Title: may sound stupid, but wheres my dv
Post by: mcgee9t2 on 04 January 2014, 13:26
just went out to replace the dv that is on the car with a 007, however looks like the guy before me has done a few things to it...

the place where the dv is normally located is bunged up. along with another pipe. there is a small unit under my air intake but cannot tell what that is... any help appreciated...

also, when looking at the front of my engine bay to see if it had been relocated, found this. no idea what it is? is it to do with secondary air intake?

Maybe it has been moved to the front of the car on the intake pipe after the intercooler , the last picture is the aircon refill.

Looked from the inter cooler cold side outlet all the way to the throttle boddy.

Only thing that's there is a sensor...

Does the car make a dumping sound or a flutter sound

Do you have another bung in the metal charge pipe behind the engine above the turbo?

yeah, theres defanitly a dumping/flutter sound so there is a dump valve somewhere, just no idea where hes relocated it too.

not sure wes, will have a look tomorrow.

Get some more pics, get one of the throttle body to IC pipe and the pipes at the back of the engine, it might be down there somewhere lol

Not sure, I don't have it on my AGU but then they added a few bits between mine and the ARZ

The bung behind the hockey puck is where the DV should sit then it should link to the charge pipe off the turbo which I've just realised would be different on yours as you have a FMIC. Chances are you don't have a DV at all as it needs to dump back into the TIP where it's bunged up no matter where it's positioned

didn't even know you could completely do away with a dv?

whats the reprocushions of not having one? will it do any damage, and what will I need to fit one again...
Title: Re: may sound stupid, but wheres my dv

You can but apparently it's not advisable on the K03 hence one being fitted from the factory. You'd probably have to have a take off welded on the turbo outlet pipe somewhere that would allow you to run a pipe back to the DV when it's fitted to the TIP again. I'll see if Google throws up an image of what I mean...

If its a flutter sound the dv is stuck shut or it does not have one.

Yeah I can see al the pipes which I believe are the pipes which the Dv was connected too. Just didn't want to try put it on yesterday and somehow have another FB plumbed in somewhere. Which is why I didn't fit yesterday. Next weekend / during week I will get a pic of how I believe it should be plumbed in and see what you guys say.
