That's good news your getting the car tip top, it will pay off in the long run.:icon thumright:

On the DV front, only one really an that's the Rev " G " , I've tried all off them an "G" is by far the best, you may need to replace it after another 30-40k miles but worth the few pounds.

happy days.

Thanks guys. After a bit of further reading I've just stuck with the originial "G" part for now.

Don't use the membrane type, it will rupture...

Personal choice really, the Rev G is a much better unit, lifespan is shorter than the piston rev valve but performance is better, just replace it every 30-40k miles.

It is needed if you have bigger turbo than the oem one like k03.

I never noticed any sound difference with mine but saying that mine was already faulty so sounded like a toned down version of the ecs induction kit
 
Do you know what is the purpose of the dv? What sound difference...

Unless you guys are using a vent to atmosphere blow off valve you wont's hear a great deal to behonest.
Maybe a very slight increase if your using a very open induction setup but otherwise just a normal turbo sound, sorry to be a party pooper.

In that case the sound is coming out of the induction kit.

Very possibly, when the stock dv opens it lets the pressure vent back into the intake system, if one is using a very open induction or intake systems that vent sound maybe more apparent due to the nature of the less restricted air filter /air filter box and or intake setup.
Not much will be heard from the oem setup because of the very effective airbox , ripout the airbox sound proofing material and it is a bit more apperent but not really that much.

I had my dv+ on before the induction kit and didn't notice any noise from the turbo or valve, once the induction kit was on though everything changed i get more of a stu tu tu noise when building boost and suddenly letting off due to fact the dv is recirculating rather than open as the air gets trapped because the turbo still spins after the throttle suddenly closes which causes the stu tu tu noise, intercoolers can also make that noise louder but a recirculating valve wont make a difference in sound alone as its juts mimicking an oem part, your need induction kit, intercooler, bigger turbo ect, plus your lose that stu tu tu sound with a bov and who in there right mind would want to lose that over pshhhhh.

As soon as you removed the oem airbox you will hear a lot more happening from the turbo, sound resonates a lot from the turbo and intake with induction kits and free flow cone type filters.

Turbo compressor surge, which sounds awesome but will shorten the turbos already short life.

Thats always up for debate but in modern turbos its not an issue and wont cause any lifespan issues, the point of having any kind of turbo flutter means yours cars already modified so you can always say that modified engines would put a shorter lifespan on the turbo rather than the flutter itself.

My car runnig great now after a decoke, new injectors, new spark plugs and new coil packs !
Im thinking I may as well change the diverter valve as its probably the original and they are prone to failure.
Which ones best for my 2.0 TFSI ?

I would say the GFB is awsome for the TFSI engine !
