diverter valve

what would happen if the diverter valve was the wrong way round

not much mate

if you got an aftermarket valve it makes a funny 'ping' noise but thats about it

it is aftermarket i had it on but when it went in to the garage last week the guy said i had it on the wrong way round i thought the nipple bit faced up towards the windscreen but he has turned it so it is faceing the spark plug if you no what i mean

Yeah works just the same but my car develops an asthmatic sounding wheeze if I turn mine round...... Slightly louder but sounds crap....

yeah in essence the guy was correct, technically boost from the charge pipe should push the piston up opening the dv but as standard it works a little different. not sure why it was like that

Richard from forge even told me this once cos i took my car in for work while the DV was reversed. but after a while the pinging sound got on my nerves so i swapped it back to the original way round

it wont cause no damage to the car though, its up to you
