Alex, the link says 4-5 hour install..........is that about correct?

 

That is correct but we've done so many it takes us maybe 3

 

OMG that sucks but its so funny you left it, went and got the Gallardo haha, such character

Alex im stage 2 as well right now and have diverter valves, im boosting a steady .9 in like a 2nd or 3rd gear WOT, in first i can hit 1.1 bar or in upper gear where the turbo's are working harder. Do you suggest the hoses as well on my 01 and will it make a big difference??

 

I just received my diverter valves from Evoms (thanks Nate)

Can anyone tell me what the black plastic attachments on the top are for?

 

Egbert.. those are just the swivels so that it makes it easier to hook up the vacuum line. Make sure you "zip" tie those

 

Thanks for the response Alex jk lol!

 

thanks sharkster-out of interest why do they need to be tip tied? does a lot of pressure go through them?Also where should I tie them?

I stuck one of them on and can't get it off now LOL.

 

Oh crap pal.. I didn't see that I thought you were talking to tommy...

OK so if you're stage II and it's .9bar going to 1.1bar with an 01 I really would man. I know it's a hassle to do but I would. The 01 design hoses are a POS...

 

Spray them with circuit board cleaner or something.. get it cold and lubed and it'll come off

We zip tie them as an "extra" precuation. There is pressure and why take the risk? For example any GT700 car has at least 60 pounds worth of zip ties not included in the kit lol

 

Hmm yea i think that might be a step along with my evo v flow, what can you do for both?

 

i just put on new diverter valves last night with the help of Ruiner (thanks!) but on the way to dinner noticed I was only pulling .6 bar at WOT (have been 1.0 - 1.1). At the restaurant noticed the "rear" diverter valve had the little hose knocked off On the way home - the CEL came on

SO this morning I try and put the hose back on without undoing everything because it was such a PIA but realized that would not be possible after 1.5 hrs of mucking with it so I disassembled then reassembled. Immediately pulled my 1.0 bar so I was happy.....UNTIL I read this post about the zip ties - ARGH!!!!

I can think of about 10,000 things I'd rather do than mess with those DV's again

 

See that's why we use zip ties... Even the factory does in some case. He'll I uses Zip Ties on my condoms

 

i'm thinking I actually didn't put it on that tight and knocked it off when I was shoving the DV and F pipe around trying to fit in the last DV. But if it does come off again - I've got the friggin zip ties ready.

 

ps - my DV exchange was such a PIA because I had lent my neighbor all of my wrenches/pliers so the only wrench I had was what comes in the little emergency road kit in my wife's BMW. It was much easier today once I had reclaimed everything

 

thanks for the help-I'm really looking forward to getting these fitted.
