Turbo Dynamics/AMD Techniks DV

[BlackLeon]

I have a feeling my diverter valve is playing up a bit and since it's the oem standard plastic one on 75,000 i decided to change it (it's either that or my maf - slight hesitancy when accelerating from stand still)

Funds are a little tight having just changed all pads and discs and giving him a service so went looking on ebay and trying to get lucky on a Forge 007. Ended up winning a Turbo Dynamics/AMD Technik for £30. Pretty good reviews on google etc but what do you guys think? It's 2nd hand, done couple of thousand miles, came out an Audi A3.

Good? Bad? Probably still get the Forge at some point but be nice to see if this fixes my prob for thirty notes.

AMD havn't sold these for around 5 years now, i know cos i bought one a month ago, it wasn't holding vacuum properly, but seemed ok once fitted to my LC. Did change it to a 007 soon after though. Does yours pass the vacuum test?

Whats a vacum test? That something found using vag-com?

Also what size jubilee clips am I going to need and how many? 3? It's too cold and snowy to go outside and faff about. . !

Pipes connecting to the dump valve are 25mm. You need to push the piston up inside, then with it held in the upwards position, put your finger over the nipple. Then let go of the finger holding the piston, it should now stay up the top due to the vacuum. If it comes straight back down it needs servicing
