dv reversal

[DPJ]

Are you saying your car sounded gay before swopping turbos?

It used to stay up at night listening to Elton John and Queen.

by running that way round dave, what benefit do you notice on oem way?

 

[traumapat]

Thats probably better than Country Classics.

I'm not sure I notice any James. I know someone with well over 400bhp on a 1.8T who always uses an OEM valve.

It just seems logical to me that the boost pressure should act against the piston, rather than than the side of the piston. It should make for a fractionally better response.

 

[james walker]

ok mate fair enough... personal preference then.

 

[Mylo]

yea it is but like james said it makes a gay sound and if its ment to go that way ill leave it

James also said he's never tried his DV reversed so it doesn't really matter does it.

My LC only has 225 bhp and the DV does not sound gay or chirp in the reversed orientation. It's also seriously loud

My LC is standard other than a great big jetex filter, and that doesn't sound gay. Chnage gear at around 4.5-5k and it sounds rather good

Oh, and i have mine fitted in reverse too

My valve doesn't make a different noise in reverse it sounds the same

reversed mine today, does the little chirp thing, but i posted a thread on intermittant whoosing while on light throttle, this seems to have gone since reversing. holds revs ok and doesnt seem much different to me

 

[wayne lcr]

nice 1 james so ill give it a go for the sake off it

 

[S17EW O]

Yeah I'm thinkin bout that too. Just don't know whether to think it can be damaging to the turbo

 

[Cupra-cal]

so the moral of the story is basically put it in same way as standard? and if your wantin the loud woosh get a splitter valve?

no and no

Loads of us run the dv's reversed and some like mine are very loud . You can here the 007 on my rr video and that's over the very noisy fans.

Split-r valves are often very hard to set up, apparently.

My 007p was recently reversed and there is a considerably loud chirp when you let off the throttle. Not to my liking so will be changing it back to normal tomorrow. My boost gauge didnt work either, not sure why as it's T'd into the fpr.
