What divertor valves do you guys recommend?

Brand and why?

Thanks!

Bosch 710N plastic diaphram types. They outlast all of the stock porsche ones, don't require lubing and can be found online for $40 each at various VW/Audi parts places. I ran them on an S4 at 24 lbs for three plus years with no issues. They are still on the car now.

The billet ones are good too, but are expensive and require lubing and have also been known to fail. It all depends on if shiny is worth the extra $.

 

Anyone else?

My future plans are to go with GTX30-76 (Billet) turbos and I want dv's that can sustain high boost.

 

I have had to service my billet EVOMS DV's twice, once tighten lose threading, and a year later to lube them. It is not a hard job, but it is not a fun one either.

The billet ones perform flawlessly and look trick, but why spend the extra money when the 710N is a proven solution?

Do this for sure. I forgot I had my DV's off a THIRD time because I reused the stock fhose, and it blew the day before a DE. Dan sent me one of his next day air, and it is a nice piece.

I've had the Forge DV's on my car for 3 years now. Just had some secondary air pump codes which turned out to be a loose top on one of the DV's. My tech took them out to service them and said they had very little dirt inside. He did re-lube them before re-install.

 

Here is an old reference article that convinced me to stay with the 710N's on my A6,Allroad, and TT, years and years ago. Still nice and applicable however. I still have the allroad tuned with 710N's for 4 plus years.

I have the AP dv's and until now everything is fine and still using the stock F hose.

 

i had 710n's on my stage 3 s4 for 4 years and ran 25-30 psi of boost and never had any problems with them. they work!

 

So everyone says the 710N. Anyone else?

 

I have a set of black evoms ones sitting on a self for years never used only because I am not using the stock intake piping. But for sure change the F hose to a nice Silicone one.

 

I had Stratmosphere dv's,failed after 1 year,bought Forge dv's,also failed after 1 year,bought the Bosch 710N plastic diaphram types ,no problems for 3 years now...

 

Baileys. I've had them for over 8 years...not a single problem with them.

 

I've just bought a pair of 710N for 35$ a piece directly from an Audi dealer...
