Got mine from AMD. I'm very pleased with mine :smiley:

Ha come round and fit mine! Holding boost better?
[/quo



Yes holding boost better and improved throttle response. Easy to fit. Just a bit fiddly getting to one of the bolts :smiley:

Did you need special long Allen keys or do normal ones work ok?





Normal ok just a bit fiddly :smiley:

So, been ok a few times since fitting the DV+, must say it seems to pull faster and stronger :grin: and I can also hear the tssh a little bit, admittedly not at high speeds given my other hardware noises but you can still hear it a few times, not loud or intrusive either like a BOV.

I will have to admit I had a slight scare, on the first trip out, coming out of Asda, lots of stop start traffic and for some reason the stopstart was working which it doesnt normally after just starting. Well after crawling a bit I came to a stop and it switched off, upon restart its revs climber to 1.5k and stayed there, like the choke was on and the acc error came up, thought id well and truly knackered it with my DIY skills, but I turned the car on and off myself and shazam error disappeared and car drove perfect and has ever since, very strange... but not replicated so not fussed :smiley:

Ever experienced any issues Tornado? I assume mine was caused by constantly stopped and restarting every five foot and chugging unburnt fuel into the system, may not have even been the dv+ fault just coincidental tbh.

Have you got VCDS to see if any error codes are being shown so you can et least clear and monitor

http://www.awesomegti.com/car/vw/golf-mk-7/neuspeed-p-flow-air-intake-golf-mk7-gti

yet another intake system, this time neuspeeds, very competitively priced and looks like pipercross's except it uses a gauze filter not foam, but everyone has their preferences which is better.
