I have Parr on mine but i think Ken at http://www.nineexcellence.com/ has a range of good ones now. Maybe worth giving him a call. James or Garry( x Parr) working with Ken will give you the very best advice.

Yep Forge is what I run. You'll get a choice of spring with them - I use the yellow.

If your current DV's are working tho and your car is standard, don't bother upgrading.

Not to sound stupid.. (ok, this may sound stupid)

What do DV's do, and why upgrade them?

I've had a pair of Bailey DV30s fitted for around 4 years now with no problems. It was one of the first mods I did along with a full set of Samco hoses including F-pipe with a view towards things to come!?!?! The DV30s are a bit of a squeeze and a faff to fit but you can get the angled fittings to screw into the top which helps.

Hello,

No question on here is a stupid question.....

The diverter valves main function is to allow the forced pressure a route to escape when you lift off the throttle and the throttle plate shuts and gives the pressure no where to go. If we had no d.v then it would just cause the turbo charger compressor wheel to almost stall and we would have a fair amount of turbo lag as it tries to spool back up onto boost.

The diverter valves can divert to atmosphere that is when you here all these subaru,ford cosworth engines make a sneezing sound as they change gear. The porsche valve is a recirculating type of valve and diverts the pressure back into the air intake system thus helping the process along as quickly as possible.

They are subject to the turbo pressure and when they get old they have a tendancy to weep pressure past their internal seal. So when you upgrade the power output they bleed pressure even more as they are not capable of sealing the system. The forge motorsport valves are by far one of the best we have fitted.

Hope this helps.

Where would you get them fitted up here?

[shocks]

Would get StuP to do it up here Lee

Would have a go myself but it's a bit fiddly and don't want to get it messed up

I haver just ordered a pair of Forge divertor valves but didnt see an option to choose springs. Will these need to be bought seperately or will the ones in the valve be adequate. They are for a remapped X50 car.
