007dv or Split-r???

[Ami-Jane]

what do you guys think is the best one to go for??

Ideally I would like a bit more noise to come out of the car but would like your thoughts please

We alwyas prefer the 007P.

Damian @ DPM

why?

 

[DamianPM]

We've always found that they work better with the VAG 1.8T's. Very simple to fit and no need for adjustment to get them right, just pick the correct spring and away you go.

If you bypass the N249 valve you will get a little noise from the 007P. I had one and changed to a turbosmart dual port and now wish I hadn't. 1.8T's are supposed to have recirculating DV's... the Split-R will work no doubt, as does my dual port, I just had more peace of mind with the 007P knowing its 100% recirc.

Why does the Bailey DV30 that I've never had any problems with not get mentioned

 

[GlanzaV]

^ Cos it's dump to atmosphere, which can cause probs for the 1.8T. I had the 007P on my mk3 cupra. And as stated above the N249 bypass gives it a sharper sound.

GlanzaV - if that comment was for the Bailey DV30, it's a full-recirc DV, not an atmospheric one

Thanks for the replies guys appreciate it

I'm not familier with modding a car so don't know what a N249 is I'm afraid :huh:

Is the splitter not noisier then the 007 & the splitter you don't have to service do you?

Kev how's does yours differ? Not heard of that one?

I found that the 007p is louder than the Split-R (on my car) and performs better.

Wow that surprises me!

You've had both types then I take it?

 

[richybigman]

Yeah i have, my car runs alot better with the 007p (less lag). Sounds good as well

 

[Ami-Jane]

do they give a lot of lag? just added a new air filter don't want to hinder the performance of the car

 

[jamest87]

well if you get the split r you can change it from atmospheric to recerc or semi ive got the split r on my bizza and seems to work fine...

 

[Breezapom]

i have both the 007p and the split/r as had been said the 007p doesnt need settting up which means less hassle and a peace of mind but when i feel like i need the noise i whackk the split/r on

weird i know but oh well

Basically it's pretty much the same as the 007p just made by Bailey - as far as I know internal wise it's similar (aluminium piston rather than rubber diaphragm like stock) aside from it doesn't have changeable springs

Apologies... In my head I read DV26! A lot of people run them for the whoosh factor!

 

[truss]

ive got a spltr on mine. it louidish up to 3k revs, after that its silent. Seems sharp when letting off throttle and reacts well, but i cant compare it tothe 007p as ive not used it.

 

[Ami-Jane]

thanks for the replies everyone - poll currently stands at 5-2 in favour of the 007

as i've not really done much to the car myself i'm swaying towards the 007 as it's easier but not sure i should sacrifice the right valve just for that reason?

anyone else got pros and cons??

Best way I've found to get the induction noise is a 007p/DV30 and a proper induction kit and possibly a Forge TIP
