after i read this...im kinda wandering what i should do about this dv i got. according to this writeup, the forge dv causes harm to our turbos.

I didn't read the link yet, and I'm having some boost leak issues after upgrading to first the forge drop in DV. I was running Revo stage I and upgraded to the Revo stage II after the Revo was in for a month. No issues at stage I, but at stage II, something is not right.

I contacted revo and they seem to be willing to work with the issue (requested I do some vag-com data logging) and I called a guy at Revo. No response from Revo at ALL.

well according to that link it said that the forge DV caused some delay to recirc the air. also leaves back pressure.

quick recap...

In conclusion:
- Forge vs OEM showed no significant improvement in boost holding capability
- Forge vs OEM showed no significant change in boost ramp-up
- Forge exhibited no improvement in mid-range and upper RPM boost over OEM
- Forge showed a ~.3s decrease in response over OEM when recirculating boost
- Forge exhibited comparable rate of releasing boost to OEM
- Forge increased backpressure on turbine compared to OEM, as observed by a 3-5psi pre-throttle body spike.
- The Forge valve is still a mechanical diverter valve and still relies on vacuum from the throttle plate for recirculating boost, whereas the OEM DV relies on electricity to retract the piston and recirculate boost.


EDIT: I have APR STAGE II right now with the Forge DV. i dont feel any significant increase in throttle or holding boost (according to my boost gauge).
