| Briskodian | Diverter Valve again My divertor 'C' valve split at about 20k miles, (9k after my remap), although I'm sure it started to split long before 20k but by then it became a gapping hole and car felt particularly slow. Anyway replaced the valve with another standard C type, but want to know what my options are when it splits again. I know of the forge version but now have concerns about boost spikes and compressor surge and I got a little lost at the part about adding fuel filters etc to rectify this. I just want a simple fit that won't split or spike. Are there any other divertor valves out there to use or has the Forge one now been sorted and easy to fit? |

| Re: Divertor Valve again The Forge one is really the only option you have in the UK. The issues you mention with fuelling and the option of fitting a revised fuel pump are only related to cars with intakes and mainly stage II software. Sounds to me like you have a split DV again and if it were my money/car I'd invest in the Forge one, if only to rule that out of the equation especially as you have a mapped car.

| Re: Diverter Valve again I'm not convinced by this 'spike' theory in the US that they've been rattling on about. This is a log run with a standard DV -

| Briskodian | Re: Diverter Valve again Looks like I'll be investing in the Forge one then, (although after Christmas). I'm running a Pipercross panel filter so hopefully will not suffer anymore spiking than the standard DV does. |

| Site Sponsor  | Re: Diverter Valve again There is no spike or surging , its typical US bull**** , propagated by a company who are looking in to manufacturing thier own product If you buy the Forge and you are not 100% happy you can have your money back
