Click Motor Why use a DV+ with this? DV+ is ment to keep your boost up between shifts by not diverting too much air. To vent the diverted air would defeat the point of the DV+.
THE COMMENT YOURE LOOKING FOR- This sounds louder in person than in the video. Yes, it's going to give you the sound youre looking for. However, it serves no purpose other than that sound. I removed this spacer once I upgraded my diverter valve and got an open intake from APR. The turbo spool is notably louder and more aggressive than the dv spacer. On top of that, it adds functionality to the noise. For those wondering, if you've got the room in your bay, yes, the GFB DV+ will fit onto this spacer. However, you will need to go to a hardware store for longer screws. If you're doing this on 8v gen audi, it's very likely that there won't be enough space to install.
So I put this on my car, its for my model and i did the install exactly the same and made sure everything was on right but my check engine light keeps coming on and off and I checked and it’s because of this, do you think i should take it off I haven’t noticed any changes?
if you are running the same diverter valve as this from stock its possible that it may have a small hole in it or tear, when you purchase a new one buy a newer ‘revision’

Hi. ECS. I installed Turbo muffler delete pipe and diverter valve spacer with APR big open intake kit @mk3 normal tt. But how do I can get 'pi-oong-pi-oong' sound? Mine dosen't make sound.....😥
I have an Audi A5 B8.5 with a turbo muffler delete and an MST induction kit. My turbo flutter isn't a stutututu, but rather a more aired version like something blowing. If I add this will I get the stutututu. I've tried other diverter valve spacers but they dint give me the stutututu
+ECS Tuning I just installed this on my car and in 2nd and 3rd gear if I go from 3/4 throttle to letting off throttle it makes the turbo flutter sound. Is this cause for concern as I don't want to cause surge and ruin the turbo's bearings
Is it only happening when you let off the throttle? If so, that's closed throttle compressor surge and it won't be an issue. Open throttle compressor surge is what kills turbos.
So it’s basically a BOV without the drawbacks of a BOV... well the ricer guys will be happy, not that they even knew the drawbacks of BOV’s in the first place as long as they got “dat whoosh!!”
I installed mine and it sounds cool but does it reduce performance? Also is it bad for the turbo or engine? Half the comments are saying yes and the other half are saying no......
I have a mkv gti. I bought the diverted spacer and put it on. Does the sound perfectly when I rev it. But when I am about to drive out of my driveway the car shuts off. When I took it off it didn’t shut off and rides normally. Please help me
ECS Tuning, does this spacer increase how much pressure can be relieved? Im trying to avoid turbo flutter. I have a stage one tune already but i have flutter (new with the tune) and i dont want it.
I have a 2016 mk6 (facelift) GLI manual. And i can not find anything that fits it. Did i get the one year gli that doesnt have like any aftermarket support? The turbo is reversed so the inlet for the turbo is where most down pipes are and my down pipe goes down where most inlets for the turbo are on ever other varients. I want turbo noises but cant find any gurenteed fitment for my car.
Does this have any cons? I know the purpose of the re circulation valve is to help the turbo stay spooled. Does adding this spacer decrease the life of the turbo or affect the engine in any negative way?
The ecu takes into the account of the recirculated air. As he said the begin, this spacer prevents the cel from popping up while having bov like sound. I don't think the spacer vents all the air out, but it does make the engine run a little rich during shifts. I see no worthwhile benefits running this or a bov other than sound. At least not by itself. Seems like while point of the spacer is to convert the oem bypass into a hybrid?
Cons = engine will run rich, needs a tune to extent its life. and the second con is... you do not recirculate boost into the turbo again so you get turbo lag. The diverter valve is there to keep the turbo spinning when you let loose your pedal. thats why they use it. you can do a pops n bangs tune to keep it spinning too. but hey. thats the word from some professional tuners and race car builders from VW who work on the TCR's from volkswagen on the nurburgring. get a pops n bangs or a forge diverter valve that makes stututut sounds and keep the boost up.
None of the "information" provided in this comment thread is correct. A diverter valve isn't going to have ANY effect on turbo spool or lag, whether it is vented or not. The purpose of the diverter valve is to relieve pressure and prevent air from flowing backwards back into the turbo. That's it. The car is not going to run rich. Anyone who says this either doesn't know how the Mk7 ECU works or doesn't understand air metering in general. The Mk7 doesn't use a MAF sensor, it is a speed density-style system which calculates airflow based on pressure and temperature, among other things. The ONLY way that this would affect air metering is if you had a pre-turbo MAF. That's not the case in this vehicle. The whole concept of the car "running rich during shifts" is absolutely ludicrous. I have no idea where people get this shit from. If you don't know what you're talking about, you should just leave the answers to someone else.

I've heard that these can cause some turbo lag and that the sound gets annoying after a while. I've also read on some forums that these can make your engine bay very dirty because they tend to spray a little bit of oil.

The only possible way it could affect lag is if the diverter valve itself was leaking, but then you'd have more problems than just a little bit of lag and you'd have them even before you installed this part. Anyone who says this affects lag or spool doesn't know what they're talking about.

There are a lot of Focus and Fiesta ST that must have something like this. It’s annoying as hell I can hear my turbo as it spools up which I think is better

I had 1 on the 1.4tsi mk6 and it doesn't make that flutter sound just the normal purging. Besides it being a dsg and only happens when you are off throttle. So I took mine off again.
Awesome video my Brazi. I havent checked my Polo 2.0 GTi DSG 2019's setup. I was considering blow off or waste gate. Some recommend no waste gate or blow off valve, some performance issues. Quick Once: I saw you had 3x screws to fit and fasten and like i know you.. You torqued the screws beautifully! I could see 2x back side and front side, the bottom 1x, how did you managed to get is unscrewed and fastened again? Other thing, some guys on UA-cam Says it is bad because it is giving off oil and stuff. The mod, is it inserted where air flow needs to go directly to the mod? -E100
The spacer just raises the stock diverter valve so that the air can escape to the atmosphere rather than being recirculated into the intake, which is quieter. The DV+ recirculates air back into the intake like a stock DV, so it is quieter, but the DV+ replaces the stock plastic piston with a metal piston that seals using a silicone lip, and the shape of the piston forces it closed when pressure is applied, so it should be more reliable and hold boost better for a high boost application (bigger turbo than stock).

The spacer valve definitely gives you the blow-off sound you are looking for... But followed by a whining sound from the engine. You can hear it very clearly in this video. It sounds like "wop wop wop wop wop" after the blow-off occurs. The GTI naturally recirculates the boost created in the turbo and does not want to blow anything off, that is the reason for the sound. A spacer is a minor version of a blow-off valve, like a younger sibling. I'm taking my spacer off because although it sounds tough when you hear the swoosh from the blow-off, your credit tanks immediately after when that whining sound occurs. ECS is an amazing company, but this not a good mod. Take it from somebody who has had this on their car for about a year.
Patrick Clay yup these literally just dump all your air (pressure) out to make some stupid noise instead of actually providing a performance boost to your engine
I need to replace the diverter valve on my 08 passat 2.0T that is all stock and came across this spacer. Will it work with mine or should I not waste 70$
So I installed a diverted valve space on my 2012 Audi Q5 about a month ago and I’ve got a check engine light for it P0299 which I believe last I checked was an underboost code. Is there a possible chance that the spacer is faulty or something else? I’m not too sure it’s my first turbo motor I get to work on myself.😬

DV+ isn't really necessary on this platform. Plenty of stage 3 tuned cars are running the stock DV without issue.
Does this actually reduce power gains?
Yes because all the boost is vented to the atmosphere. With a dv it is recirculated.
How did you guys get the 3rd screw out on the bottom of the diverter valve
What about to lose power?!!
They make any lag or issue
I have stage 2 with cts BOV and IS38
Thanks!!
No lag or loss of power.
Have one on a tt . Might be a horse or 2 power loss but it's not noticable.
I have Tiguan tsi 2.0 ,2009 model does it work
How is it on a dsg vehicle ?
Can i put this to golfwagen mk7 2.0 Tdi dsg and can i get same sound?
Got these for a ‘17 Jetta 1.4t auto? I’d love to install it on my girl’s car without her knowing and see how long it takes her to say something.
Haha, no. But that would be hilarious.
Forge makes a BOV kit for that car. I actually have one if you are interested in getting one for her. Pulled it off my 1.4 when I went to the GLI.
whatz the difference between the spacer DV and GFB DV+? (go fast bit +)
The spacer just raises the stock diverter valve so that the air can escape to the atmosphere rather than being recirculated into the intake, which is quieter. The DV+ recirculates air back into the intake like a stock DV, so it is quieter, but the DV+ replaces the stock plastic piston with a metal piston that seals using a silicone lip, and the shape of the piston forces it closed when pressure is applied, so it should be more reliable and hold boost better for a high boost application (bigger turbo than stock).
Its an easy install until you drop the DV Plunger into the subframe where its goes into another dimension! I had to buy a new DV.
Yikes.
Damn that's a bummer. I had screws disappearing in my 4-wheeled back whole but a whole DV is another dimension in and of itself..
How does one prevent that from happening?
do i have to torque it down on the instuctions it says too but you didnt so is it okay if i
dont or should i torque it down to spec?
I bought the tirque salutions one years ago sounded cool but honestly felt like it took away performance from my car.
You will run rich ish
Need to know which one fits my 2016 Jetta gli 2.0
Our website allows you to search by your specific vehicle to find the perfect product specific to your vehicle. For a 2016 GLI, here's the search results for all the DV Spacers we offer: bit.ly/3xFBk6I
The spacer valve definitely gives you the blow-off sound you are looking for... But followed by a whining sound from the engine. You can hear it very clearly in this video. It sounds like "wop wop wop wop wop" after the blow-off occurs. The GTI naturally recirculates the boost created in the turbo and does not want to blow anything off, that is the reason for the sound. A spacer is a minor version of a blow-off valve, like a younger sibling.
I'm taking my spacer off because although it sounds tough when you hear the swoosh from the blow-off, your credit tanks immediately after when that whining sound occurs.
ECS is an amazing company, but this not a good mod. Take it from somebody who has had this on their car for about a year.
i cannot find any diverter valve for a Scirocco mk3? on your website
I’ve read on a couple forums that these types of diverters can actually damage your turbo and cause lag.
Any credibility to these claims?
Jordan DePasquale yes these aren’t good. Stick with a diverter valve, its better for the tsi/tfsi engines.
Agreed had one on my audi s3 caused me to have lower boost
Patrick Clay yup these literally just dump all your air (pressure) out to make some stupid noise instead of actually providing a performance boost to your engine
I have a a3 1.8t and my spacer does not create that flutter sound. Just PSHHH. Is it supposed to flutter?
It's good for 5 minutes. 😅😅
I have Tiguan 2022 turbo. you think there is no problem. put a valve?
Great just what we need more rice
So what I am not understanding here if it is letting the air out then isn't working as a blow off valve other than a diverter valve? 😒🤔
So much saltiness in here....
I can taste it too.
Let's be real, having to do ridiculous mods like this just to make your car sound like an I30N stock is pretty embarrassing.
Ash Cosmo Bruv you made a whole video on the tiniest scratch I’ve ever seen. Do you expect us to take you seriously
@@John-cg1sx Damn you John.. I had to go waste the 4 seconds of my life watching the jerk off hand point at a tiny scratch💯😂😂💀thanks
AUDI GANG 4 LIFE
Made my A4 run a bit rich and gave me 11mpg instead of the usual 20mpg.
Bruh ain’t no you lost 9 mpg of a damn dv spacer lmao
Hi I’m in the uk and have a 2017 seat Cupra 300 do you do one for this engine please
Most people buy these then sell them.... makes the car sound like a school bus.
I need to replace the diverter valve on my 08 passat 2.0T that is all stock and came across this spacer. Will it work with mine or should I not waste 70$
Most useless mod ever, literally increases spool time on the turbo.
why does it do that
Faster spool time means boost comes in fast which mean your car should be faster
No, no it doesn’t
Di
I have a 2017 GLI 2.0T 6speed manual. What is the link to the one that fits my car?
SO this is a ricer part? no real gains from this
So everything that dont add gains is rice part? what about the carbon covers? dis is not rice it luv for turb
semisplit, R.I.C.E. Is Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. This part is technically functional so it doesn’t qualify as “rice.” But I get your point.
How would know that? Shush.
Danny Wetke carbon fibre is gains through weight reduction
Yes it's a ricer part. A weak Atmos imitator.
So I installed a diverted valve space on my 2012 Audi Q5 about a month ago and I’ve got a check engine light for it P0299 which I believe last I checked was an underboost code. Is there a possible chance that the spacer is faulty or something else? I’m not too sure it’s my first turbo motor I get to work on myself.😬
That’s a gross sound. I’ll pass on that part
