Yeah a guy who helped me said to take it off to stop loosing boost pressure until I get a forge one!
And we blocked it off!
And I'm not some sort of bad boy racer haha I do 60 on the motorway!
Is this a bad idea, I'm new to this coming for a 1.6!

afraid so mate, removing the DV gives you compressor stall, which on a tiny turbo like the ko3 will do it much harm indeed.

The DV is there for a pretty good reason. I'd get one fitted asap.

haha, cheers dude   :cool:

At the start of my 1.8T ownership, many many moons ago, I drove around for 6 months with an induction kit and a broken DV, I thought the compressor stall sound was normal, and to be fair, it's an AWESOME noise.

I was absolutely gutted when I fitted my forge DV and it went 'woosh' instead :(

Everyone has to learn somewhere :)

and don't put the DV the wrong way, it sounds awful!
like a high pitch chirp from a bird lol ( I have read many mixed reports as to whether it actually causes any harm ......)
