Introducing the new DV+ for late-model PSA (Peugeot, Citroen, Mini) applications! GFBs DV+ solution couldnt be simpler - keep what works and replace what doesnt.
* Retains the factory solenoid coil for seamless integration * Replaces plastic valve parts with metal for reliability and strength on chipped engines * Direct-fit replacement with GFBs TMS benefits * Exclusive pilot-actuated valve mechanism for rapid response at high boost
GFB expands the DV+ range with a direct-fit solution for the weak factory diverter valve used on many European vehicles. The solenoid coil itself from the factory-fitted valve is great (the ECU opens it faster than any pneumatic valve so why replace it?), but the weak point however is the valve mechanism itself.
So GFBs DV+ solves this problem by replacing just the valve parts with an anodised billet aluminium housing fitted with a brass piston machined to exacting tolerances. The end result is sharper throttle response, lightning-fast valve actuation, and it will hold as much boost as you can throw at it.
Other manufacturers products involve replacing the entire system with a traditional pneumatic valve, requiring long vacuum hose runs, additional parts for tapping into the intake manifold vacuum, plus either a different solenoid valve to actuate the pneumatic valve or a ballast resistor to plug into the OE wiring loom.
All these additional items result in a product that is slower, less responsive, more expensive and takes much longer to install. GFBs DV+ solution on the other hand is more responsive, less expensive, easier to install, and doesnt cause compressor surge/turbo flutter. Oh, and it doesnt require different springs or frequent re-builds.Part Ref: T9352
