Best Upgraded DV for S3 ?

Spin140 · Jan 23, 2008

Opinions please Guys, I'm considering changing the standard item as they are a known weakness on the 2.0T wether mapped or standard, some Guys on UKmKivs have had problems and VAG brought out an updated version earlier this year.

I would like the Item to look as standard as possible so this probably rules out the Forge item at least until the car is out of warranty, not after any performance enhancement just reliability.

I replaced mine after i had the car bluefin'd with the updated version, the original one was the older spec one and caused no problems but i changed it on the safe side.

No need to upgrade the DV on the S3 (performance wise).

I went with the Forge FSITDV. Been fantastic.
The OE DV's go through so many revisions as they try to get them reliable.
If youre mapped they help to handle the extra boost you may be pushing, as at the extremes sometimes the OE DV struggles.
About £150. Always gone with Forge (007P) in past, service is great and the manufacturing is second to none.

I have been remapped for about 7 months now and am still using the OEM DV...
