I've got the Non-Resonated Turbo-back Milltek (the loudest of what is NOT a noisy system) but loud enough when the engine is working. Perhaps some of the normal DV sound (I don't have a spacer) is drowned.

I thought that the diverter valve was only the weak link if you didn't have the type C version :undecided:

Type C version is "allegedly" fixed to the ED30, Leon Cupra and S3 :undecided:

....I personally know of one person who has had a C fail on a GTI (remapped) and have heard that from someone who until recently worked at Forge (still on good terms with them) who knows of several failures on the Ed30/S3 front location. The VAG design has an inherent weakness and their same DV is being used but in the new frontal location. They seem to have thought that failures were encouraged by heat (near the turbo) but obviously it's not. Diaphrams split.

Thanks for that RR :smiley:

Looks like I may be visiting for a DV when I remap then :evil:

....Unfortunately it's not a mod which you see much benefit from except peace of mind and a wee bit more of boost being held :smiley:. It's a superbly engineered bit of kit though - Worthy of being a coffee table ornament!

I've been misinforming you all! According to Mike at Forge:

"The only reason for the placement change was because the turbo that was chosen to be used on the S3 (K04) doesn't have a mounting provision for the valve built into the compressor cover of the turbo like the K03 on the normal FSI applications, so it needed to be moved elsewhere.

It wasn't relocated for any supposed functional "benefit" over the turbocharger mounted location. Not for a temperature change, and not because it works "better" in that location either.

It was just a suitable place to mount it not having a turbocharger mounting flange available on the turbo."

I had thought it was for temperature reasons re a rubber diaphram on the OEM DV.
