Just decided I don't want to fix it, instead I'll put a proper forge DV.  Unsure which is a better buy 007 or 008?  Thanks again.

mine makes a slight sound when changing gear. is this normal?

it mapped? you have a uprated DV?

nope not that im aware it has a standard filter. i have checked all the pipes and they seem tight.

i accelerate and change gear it sounds like a very mini dump valve. i doubt it would be that loud to people outside of the car though

i think its pretty cool but if its not normal?

i had the same thing happen to me on my 1.8t, the problem you have is with the rubber pipe on the intercooler it is a really easy fix just push the pipe on the intercooler properly and tighten the jubilee clips properly and its done, you will find the car will be much more responsive once its done because your loosing boost. if i remember correctly the intercooler is a side mounted one which will be behind the drivers side wing someone correct me if im wrong.

your stock DV has failed. when you get the new one fitted the noise will be gone. then you can smash the old one open with a hammer and find the split in the rubber diaphragm :afro:

yes Monty sounds like you have the same thin as me.  I like the noise but rather than fix it I'm going to use this excuse to fit a 008 with this group-buy that we're definitely doing.  I'm also interested to see the pipes going to the intercooler like what  bhpamzz says.

Dont get me wrong a chip to go from 150 - 180bhp would suit me fine, but it's incredibly low mileage and unbelievably good nick with fvwsh i dont want to mess around too much.  After the forge 008 an induction kit will follow.  Tsssschhhh...
