New DV's saved my life!

Well ... they saved me from selling my car in disgust. It was running poorly and making quite a buzzy noise from the back. I suspected the diverters were maybe the issue, so I replaced them with EVOs.

What a difference!!! Smooth acceleration, no buzz, boost comes on quicker and now I can hear my sweet new Fabspeeed Gen 3 Moderate exhaust. It finally sounds like a Porsche Turbo is supposed to.

Thanks for all the good advice from those on the board here. What a wealth of knowledge. I own a few motorcycles and hang out on those boards. I thought there were a lot of bike mods out there, but the # of optys to mod a Porsche are ridiculous! (and quite a money pit!)

Can't return PMs, due to low post count.

I've received a couple of PMs asking about the install. I can't reply because my post count is still too low. I aim to rectify that real quickly here.

My local tuner replaced them in one hour, $75 labor charge.

The DVs are from Suncoast Porsche. They were supposed to be EVs, but they shipped me billet valves from RSS. My tuner (Eurotrix) said no problem, they are quality, plunger style.

Seems to have done the trick!

Btw, Suncoast was going to take the DVs back, no problem, since they had substituted a different product, but I decided to install the ones they sent me anyway. Thanks Ryan! Great service.

Steve, glad you ended up keeping the RSS valves and getting the car to run properly.

Please let me know if there is anything else you might need help with in the future!

I replaced mine in about two hours. Now it would take me 20 minutes. You need some long "L" shape pliers.

If you don't have those long pliers it's a real pain unless you have tiny hands.
