i have one fitted and it works perfect have had it on for about 5k now with no problems at all

 

[cordobabrendy]

seems ok but who makes it and offers warranty on it, function over form there definately

"Blow-off Valve" description is misleading as it's definitely designed as a recirculating valve.

Got to agree with Brendy, it's an ugly-looking piece of kit.

adjustable spring tension could be setup wrong and maybe cause issues if you didnt know how to set it and also, the material its made of doesnt look like alloy, karl how is yours looking does it resist rust/marring?

 

[karl.w]

they are made by some American company cant remember the name of them but before i bought one i remember finding a link to some info on them and there was a few 350bhp+ vw's running them.
so i got one im happy enough with it as it has worked perfect from day 1.
its not the best looking d/v but it gets the job done

yeah i had to set mine up so that it would hold the boost without dumping it early.

mine still looks as good as new. the pic looks like they are made of plastic but they are made of alloy

dont like the look of the design myself...why bother? not only that but it just looks tacky. u could buy a used forge dv from only about the same...maybe abit more

buy cheap...buy twice

 

[jimmy2006]

gonna give it a try, forge ones are £50 more and these cant be that bad (hopefully!)

 

[acidstrato]

my forge unit cost me 75quid brand new

used they go for about 45quid

 

[jimmy2006]

anyone got one of these dv's? if so, how many washers have people put in to tension the spring?
