....Forge DV? - Most definitely a must-have if your car is remapped and a good safeguard even for a standard one. So many cases of the stock DV's failing! - The plastic diaphram can split under higher boost levels.

It's a fit 'n forget mod and improves (only slightly) boost being held.

....If you are asking me - My Revo tuner has a rolling road and we used it in the tuning session and then again to check things over a couple of weeks later when everything had settled. He also took the car out on the road with a laptop on both sessions. I have complete trust in my tuner - Jim of JKM Portsmouth.
