Diverter Valve
« on: 22 December 2022, 11:18 »
Has anyone had to change there's at all on a MK7? ive been told by a mapper that they are weak and if boost tails off then this is probably the issue. I have a Black Code Remap and have read good and bad things about them, so I am considering getting a different map for the car and hope this irons out the boost problem...

Similar to what I've read, nothing much wrong with the stock DV on a Mk7.
