I'm the bad influence. I'm still waiting to show Fred how to tear up the town properly in it.

Wait, am I hearing this right? You're have Sharky tuning your Bentley now?

I have to admit, your ride and my friend's Flying Spur are two of the most comfortable cars I have ever been in.

I'm back and Hell Yeah!!! Now that's more like it!!!

I highly recommend doing this for anyone who has a Bentley. The Torque/response is much much better. Also the revs are raised a little.

Next step is to install the diverter valves. I just need someone who can install it for me. The dealership won't install it and Sharkwerks lifts are not made to lift such a heavy car as mine. Supposedly you need to have the car up on a lift and take 3 hours to install.

Question, do the diverter valves really help? If not, I won't install.

thanks

Gorgeous car, love the piano black. You need to upgrade your coat though.

As for the dv valves...when I had the B5 S4, installing the valves was more of a precaution to make sure you don't have any boost leaks, performance gains were negligible. It was a necessary item for the S5 though.

Haha, funny. I actually love my poofy Prada jacket. That style is actually very popular around here, for better or worse.

It's ok, I have like 20 jackets

Thanks for the info about the Diverter Valves, I'll ask EVOMS if necessary on my car.

Fred it depends how your going to drive the car... if you plan on going full boost all day long DVs are a good option, however if your dealer is giving you problems dont run the risk of voiding the waranty. After all the car has a bumper to bumper warranty and the ecu upgrade is not detectable, so the worst thing that will happen is youll spring a leak the car will be in the shop for a week.... but beware they will reflash the ecu with almost any tuning service.

Finally a video. (not the most exciting but gives you an idea on the sound of the exhaust)
