Best Diverter Valves?

I am in the market for some - what are the best diverter valves?

Also, does the "F" hose need replaced, is it recommended, or just if it is bad?

Thanks in advance!

I purchased Evoms DV's (sharkwerks) based on some searching feedback. The F-hose (vivid) I decided to upgrade since you have to pull it out anyway and it's not that expensive.

I got recommended the Forge DV's. I'm happy with them so far.
If your doing the valves I would change the F hose anyway. It's a fiddly job. I replaced all my hoses with the SAMCO upgrades.

I went with the Forge DVs too and am very happy win them

Personally I think the silicone hoses are a waste of time
I know I'm gonna get shot down here, but I think the stock hoses are more than adequate if they're in good order

If my hoses did ever need replacing I would probably go with the silicone ones, but I wouldn't change them unless there was a problem with the current ones

Just my thoughts though

Basically any type of forged dv's are fine.

Thanks Al! Vivid sells 2-3 different brands. Do you remember if they are Agency Power or Forge? No biggie, just curious what everyone is running.

Thanks again!

I went with the OEM JDM EVO Blow Off Valve. It is a very solid unit that will last a long time. It is a much more solid, simpler, reliable, and cheaper than the the dual diverter valve setup IMO. Install is very easy as well. They are about $50 used and about $130 new.

I went with what Kevin at UMW sent. He set the springs, etc. I think they are Forge's. I cannot remember, but they are from the U.K.

AP. Thanks for bringing up the name. I couldn't remember it but you jogged my memory. Quality of the product appeared to be very good.

The guys running Forge DV's what colour springs are you running ? Believe they come with green springs as standard but also yellow and blue springs with shims for running higher levels of boost.

Standard boost = Green springs which come with Forge DV's.

Kevin at UMW recommended the Forge Valves to me.

If they came from the UK then they are likely to be the Forge valves
