DV+ Performance Diverter Valve, Faster, Stronger, Simpler, Better
Performance Diverter Valve; this valve has SHARPER THROTTLE RESPONSE; FASTER BOOST RECOVERY ON GEARSHIFT; SOLVES BOOST LEAKING ISSUES; BUILT TO LAST.
The factory BPV (bypass valve) has a couple of key shortcomings in construction and operation. First of all, tuned engines running high boost also produce a lot of heat in the charge air. Because the BPV is situated right on the compressor, it is subjected to the hottest part of the intake charge, and the heat from the compressor cover itself. This can cause the factory diaphragm to rupture, and if that happens and goes undetected for a while, it can cause damage to the turbo, as the ECU will try to compensate for the lost boost pressure by increasing turbo speed. Second, the operation of the factory BPV is not aimed at throttle response. Because of the soft spring and the solenoid valve that is in-line with the vacuum hose, it can only operate in two states ? fully open, or fully shut.
- 10% FASTER OPENING, 50% FASTER CLOSING THAN THE FACTORY DIVERTER • RETAINS THE FACTORY SOLENOID FOR SEAMLESS INTEGRATION • REPLACES PLASTIC VALVE PARTS WITH METAL FOR RELIABILITY AND STRENGTH ON STOCK OR MODIFIED
