may sound stupid, but wheres my dv
« on: 04 January 2014, 13:26 »
just went out to replace the dv that is on the car with a 007, however looks like the guy before me has done a few things to it...

the place where the dv is normally located is bunged up. along with another pipe. there is a small unit under my air intake but cannot tell what that is... any help appreciated...

also, when looking at the front of my engine bay to see if it had been relocated, found this. no idea what it is? is it to do with secondary air intake?

Maybe it has been moved to the front of the car on the intake pipe after the intercooler , the last picture is the aircon refill.

Does the car make a dumping sound or a flutter sound

Do you have another bung in the metal charge pipe behind the engine above the turbo?

Get some more pics, get one of the throttle body to IC pipe and the pipes at the back of the engine, it might be down there somewhere lol

Not sure, I don't have it on my AGU but then they added a few bits between mine and the ARZ

The bung behind the hockey puck is where the DV should sit then it should link to the charge pipe off the turbo which I've just realised would be different on yours as you have a FMIC. Chances are you don't have a DV at all as it needs to dump back into the TIP where it's bunged up no matter where it's positioned
