Fitted TSI-spec DV

[jaydubveedub]

I have the D revision and it is much quieter than the rubber sink plunger version and seems to offer the same performance as the forge.

Yes it does seem much quieter than the sink plunger version, you can hardly hear the pressure release when you back off the throttle (which suits me as it's not to my taste).

Also is this the same as the re-circulating valve or different??

I think its the same, I think its also called a cut of valve.

Forge used to have a guide for changing the DV on the 1.8T, maybe they have the same for the 2.0T.  If its the standard GTI you have to get underneath the car...

Certainly made a differance to my car too, although my original DV was completley knackered with mutiple splits in the rubber! 

Can only assume that because it's designed for a small engine with supercharger/turbo it holds the boost for longer so the little 1.4 doesn't struggle at the top end of rev range?

Its designed for the new 2.0 tsi in the scirocco and new gti.  Its actually quite a different engine

It's designed for all 2.0T engines as it supercedes existing ones, it's the only DV you can get now. I ordered mine as a G valve and they sent me a D.

Actually, from what I can tell, the Recirculating Valve is what we refer to as the PCV, the DV is in fact an EGR cut off valve.

Later models (not sure what year this came into effect) and ED30s have them located in a much easier place and can be replaced via opening the bonnet.

LOL they are having a laugh at those prices, rip off! As i said i got one from a dealer for £26.

You got a D valve from the dealer for £26?

Any pics showing it - mines 07 and don't fancy gettting the axle stands out
