DV springs? Not sure what that is or if it is "adjustable"? Are you sure you are not confusing DVs with Wastegates?
Seems the reason you get the billet DVs is because the stock oneaa are plastic and will blow eventually. This is not a performance upgrade, but a reliability one.

wross996TT: I know the difference between DVs and wastegates. Well at least I think I do. 
Forge diverter valves have springs in them that you can change out for stiffer/softer ones. I was trying to see what other people around here were using if they were using Forge units.

Bill: These are user adjustable for different boost levels. Kit comes with 3 different springs and shims for fine tuning, pretty neat actually. Kevin

Well, I can way I learned something new today also. So with these DV's, they come with different springs for different boost levels? Seems like a lot of work to change them though.

M3CAB: Changing the actual springs isn't hard at all. Removing the DVs from the car probably is the harder part.
KPG: I don't have this issue but that's why I'm going to replace them since I don't want to find anything in the future.

I got mine direct from Forge, but I think VividRacing is having a group buy for 280$. Kevin
