jabtronic Member 70 Member For: 12y 6m 19d Posted 07/03/19 11:43 AM Share Posted 07/03/19 11:43 AM GFB make a replacement for the factory bosch blow off valve called the DV+. It's been out for a few years and heaps of VW guys seem to praise it highly but I've searched and can't find any mention of it on here? Has anybody use one and noticed any improvement over the standard bov? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabtronic Member 70 Member For: 12y 6m 19d Posted 09/03/19 01:27 PM Author Share Posted 09/03/19 01:27 PM I don't care much for bovs or their noises either, I've always planned to stick with the factory one but I am looking to replace it as maintenance item (high kms) which is how I stumbled across the GFB. So there's a bunch of VW, Audi, Ford RS, Merc, BMW guys posting on forums saying they actually noticed a performance increase or less lag using this over the Bosch unit that comes standard on our cars I'm just surprised there isn't even one mention of it on here? Even on Amazon a heap of people raving on about it. https://www.amazon.com/T9351-Valve-diverter-valve-advantage/product-reviews/B00HQPV29U/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews Why #turbosmart over an Australian company? Are are you referring to the Kompact bov? Seems you guys are thinking that I'm after a fully sik bov I'm not I was going to replace my old 300,000km Bosch bov... with a brand new Bosch bov.. but after seeing reviews for the GFB I'll be purchasing that instead. I'm just surprised theres no mention of it here that's why I posted the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it cost $1.57 for a plug. Better investment. I'd maybe get a better aftermarket one if I was running over 15 psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
