Forge DV

[Adam's Cupra]

Is it worth getting a spacer with the Forge DV? What does it actually do

Also is it easy to fit yourself? AMD want £150 for DV and then £30 for fitting it..

But its about £120.00 on the net supply only?

Hi the forge spacer just makes the woooshhhhhh noise, im not sure about fitting as i had mine fiited for me

 

[DanGB]

easy to fit on the cupra engine yes, as its at the front of the engine at the top. The spacer is a waste of money if you ask me.

I think its located in the FAQ section (that explains how to fit it and may include videos too)

Don't bother the oem dv with its cooler location is well upto the job.

Its a personal taste really (kinda like marmite) you like it or hate it, there isn't a real gain in performance with a BOV all it does is make a woooooosh noise and personally I love it but yea back on the subject your car should have a OEM one stated by Carr20vt should a "Atmospheric" one very quiet. But yea its up to you what you want you can buy ones from forge where you can adjust it if you want it to woosh or shut up lol.

Save your money Adam, as said earlier the O/E one is just as good.

The forge one whooshes, but which ones flutter?

If your wanting noise - kill 2 birds with one stone and fit a good CAI

If you really were concerned about the dv then get the new OEM shown at the bottom of this page here for £38:

Although you could probably get the same part cheaper at the main dealer.

yeah if you want the latest diverter valve, see David at seremotors.
