I had a meeting with GFB last night and they have just released a new product, patent pending that solves the factory valve problems. Both the OE Diaphragm valve (which splits) and the plastic replacement (which leaks boost all the time or sticks open) are elegantly replaced with a new valve which utilises the existing solenoid. No more boost leaks. No more stuck valves. No more boost surge!

I am looking for someone with a faulty valve to trial this product free of charge.

 

thanks

?????? :think:

sorry for the late reply the VW boys jumped on this so quickly they got the only trial unit I had. I am trying to get another.

Here is the review of the unit

Where is the DV on the 2.0tfsi engine? Didn't I read somewhere forge have a replacement for the factory one?

As I understand it the Forge product is a vacuum operated valve so you loose the response of a solenoid operated valve and you don't get the same long term reliability of this new solution.
