    I wish every aftermarket company took the time to do these kinds of videos like you do. From the disassembly of the entire part and the explanation of all the design choices to the principle of how it works, as well as the live demonstration on a test rig- I really, really enjoyed your video and learned a lot. I will be picking this brand!

    just installed mine on my abarth, and my god is it good.
    Pros:
    -Throttle response makes it feel like my car is NA
    -Boost holds at high rpms (and feels like the rpms climb faster)
    -most significant change is low end torque, it just takes off (feels like its quite a bit faster 0-60)
    -big changes to performance for such a small and relatively cheap part
    Cons:
    -Installation is difficult, at least for an abarth 500. ( have several hex/allen keys on hand you're going to drop many)

    Put this on my Abarth 500. Works pretty damn good, makes the drive a whole lot smoother and holds in the boost near redline. The stock piece was garbage and made of plastic, I have no idea how it even worked in the first place.
    Without the DV+ my car would shudder badly when letting off the throttle and jumping back on the gas. The factory piece would just dump all the boost at the slightest lift off the throttle which is VERY annoying behavior, DV+ solved that. Also near redline boost would leak all the way down to 12psi immediately after reaching peak boost of 18psi. Now with the DV+ the gauge pegs at 16-18psi and stays there like it should. Definitely a step-1 mod on the list before you do anything else to your car.

    I'm quite keen on one of these, will they work effectively on a supercharger setup?
    I've got a vortech (CAPA) supercharged xr8 falcon that uses the age old VGA style plastic valve (same as the factory turbos/etc).
    Obviously with a supercharger constantly blowing air, even at idle i needs to get out and i certainly dont want to see any comp surge on a centri blower! I assume since its just plumbed directly to manifold vac line, if the throttles shut/plenums got vac, and the rear valves being held open, the blower airflow will just hold the GFB open too vent the whole time (since pressure will never drop to zero)
    Really keen to throw away this plastic POS and get something good on there without having to go hacking at things and modifying everything, love the idea of unit, straight plug in!

      Hi Walid,
      Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you're loving the throttle response of the DV+
      While some people may be looking to get that flutter noise, the purpose of a diverter valve is specifically to avoid this.
      Flutter is the noise created by compressor surge which is potentially harmful to the lifespan of the turbo. This happens when there is excess pressure and low flow, such as when the throttle closes
      The diverter valve is designed to release excess pressure and avoid this.

    • @SamSung-4ever
      @SamSung-4ever Місяць тому

      ​@@gfbvideos😮You write that fluttering is harmful to the life of the turbo compressor! This fluttering sound occurs on all dv+, so is it harmful to the life of the turbocharger?🤔

    • @gfbvideos
      @gfbvideos  Місяць тому +1

      @@SamSung-4ever Fluttering at HIGH RPM’s is best avoided as there is a larger load placed on your turbo when coming off throttle. It is critical to note that fluttering at LOW RPM is NOT as severe as fluttering at HIGH RPM. If you’re not hearing any fluttering at high RPM, then that would imply that your DV+ is working as intended, however - I’d highly recommend contacting us at support@gfb.com.au so that we can double check everything over and ensure that everything has been installed correctly.
      What can happen with our DV+ is that at LOW RPM there isn’t a sufficient amount of pressure in your intercooler piping to overcome the pressure differential of the valve and recirculate back into the intake. This is NOT at fault of either the DV+ or your vehicle. If you wanted to get rid of low RPM fluttering, we’d recommend removing the main piston spring (short, fat spring not the tall, skinny spring).

    • @gfbvideos
      @gfbvideos  4 місяці тому

      Hi, the issue on most of the vehicles the T9352 is intended for is clearance, as the VTA is quite a bit taller than the DV+ version. A little secret, the VTA we sell for the Mercedes (T9458) will fit the same turbo and diverter valve as the T9352, but it probably won't have enough room around it to fit. If you can let me know what vehicle you've got, I can advise if you've got a chance of fitting one on there. Best to contact us through our support channel via the website, as we may need you to send some photos of your factory diverter valve.

    I have the GFB DV+ in my 1.4T multiair engine, and I am very happy with it. I read some forum posts that say that the forge valve (which is a direct replacement of the stock diverter valve) is better. They say the forge valve has zero leaks, whilst the GFB one, is better than the stock, but still has some minor leaks. Is that true? My opinion is that the forge one is way more complicated to install, with many more prone-to-fail parts. Brett can I please have your comments on this?

    you should have mentioned that it needs oiling at installation and every period or it gets stuck and throw a code

    • @gfbvideos
      @gfbvideos  3 роки тому +4

      Fair comment about oiling during installation, but periodic maintenance/oiling is not something that is required. The anodised bore is extremely hard wearing and does not need oil for proper operation or longevity. We only suggest it during installation (in the instructions, obviously I neglected to say in this video) as it's a bit like breaking in an engine - the microscopic high spots left over from machining on the piston will be flattened during the first week or so of operation, and a bit of oil is beneficial for this process. Ongoing however, oiling is not required.
      If you find your valve is getting stuck, it is likely a different cause, and removing and oiling it is masking that cause. As we mention in the instructions, the piston to bore clearance is extremely close, and it's possible there is some very minor distortion or damage on the piston that you could only detect with precision measuring equipment.
