The only benefit is durability, to me the car feels the same as with the G valve.

shameful bump!  :embarassed:

Anyway, I still havn't had the time to look into this further, but we need to keep this thread updated, because we need to clear up some of the earlier confusion. :afro:

This DV mod is due to be on my GTi next month... so until then let's keep it updated!  :afro:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

The forge one requires maintainance, is more expensive and makes the engine less responsive...

....Thanks but I found the dozen or more pages of technical discussion on that vortex link went over my head!

The conclusion seemed to be that there was no conclusion but just Forge defending itself calmly and reasonably against calm and reasoned challenges.

Included in the vortex thread was some discussion of the spacer.

Why bother fixing it if it aint broke?

It took VW's magnificent r&d team half a dozen goes to get a decent recirculation valve (type G).
Who's to know if this first version of the new valve is any good?
