OK, I know about the 'honking noise' and I had my DV's swaped out under warrenty in October. Everything was great for about 3 weeks, and the 'honking noise' is back! Any thoughts? Will the dealer just continue to replace them ever 30-45 days, or has anyone had any luck getting them replaced under warrenty with something that works. Should I just bite the bullet and install them myself?

 

take it back.... its not ur fault... it should work as OEm....
maybe its something else...

 

i know this sounds like a stupid question, but is the car stock?

 

I know the bosch ones no matter how many different times you install them can fail quite quickly _if_ the car has been modified with an ECU program and is running more boost. Even in stock form they can fail quite quickly....

 

Other than a Fab cold air, it is currently bone stock.

 

do your self a favor and get a pair of bailey dv's. it's a job you want to do once. mike @ AWE board sponser has them in stock. clicky the linky to the right...

I'd fix the underlying problem first before throwing new parts into the mix. What are the peak boosts you are seeing when you drive??????

 

DV's are definitely something you should replace off the bat stock, if you plan on upgrading the car it's even more important.

dumb question: what are the effects of "bad" stock DVs?

 

Lost boost or worse piece of bad DV ingested into turbo...

 

I am very satisfied with the I-Forge DVs from Champion motorsports.

 

I`m running the AgencyPower DVs from Vivid and they work perfect. I think all of the aftermarket DVs from well known sponsors will work great.
