Well then again by fitting a Spacer you are venting the air into atmosphere and therefore the same issue as having an HKS SSQV2 BOV isn't it?!!

No because the HKS removes the divertor altogether however with the spacer it uses the existing divertor on the car (its just a metal spacer with holes in it, it won't do any damage or cause any problems heck its not even class as a dump valve...) :whistle:

So is changing to the rev d, is it just a better quality unit, or will it actually improve performance in some way? Forgive my stupidity, but all this tech stuff confuses me.:cry:

Basically the REV D divertor Valve is OEM and its been redesign so it will last almost forever even on mapped cars (however no difference in performance). Its alot better than previous Revisions because its Piston driven instead of using Diaphram kinda like rubber material which is prone to rip under high temp (for us FR, TFSI sport owns the Divertor Valve is next to the turbo so it will get hot and rip.

The HKS SSQV2 I can't comment at all...however it discards the divertor valve the oem one altogether and it does the job by itself however I pefer it all oem with only one difference, having the spacer from forge which gives the woosh woosh sound.

Stew as you have a Cupra your DV is already relocated at the front of the engine bay so its easy enough to upgrade to the newer one thats if you need too. If the old DV rips (diaphram it will not throw any DTC codes however the car will run like a pig...). err hope this helps. (repeated for the x amount time already) heh.

morning peeps

been looking in to the dump valve situation for a cupra.

i have read on here and just need to pick yours brains.

are we still talking about recirc valves? this revD OEM part does it offer any more noise over the standard unit at all? i remember the LCR mk1 use to have a woosh with a Forge recirc and a filter are we able to do the same with the mk2 LC or is teh spacer needed for any noice what so ever?

vids would be nice :)
