My divertor 'C' valve split at about 20k miles, (9k after my remap), although I'm sure it started to split long before 20k but by then it became a gapping hole and car felt particularly slow. Anyway replaced the valve with another standard C type, but want to know what my options are when it splits again. I know of the forge version but now have concerns about boost spikes and compressor surge and I got a little lost at the part about adding fuel filters etc to rectify this. I just want a simple fit that won't split or spike. Are there any other divertor valves out there to use or has the Forge one now been sorted and easy to fit?

The Forge one is really the only option you have in the UK. The issues you mention with fuelling and the option of fitting a revised fuel pump are only related to cars with intakes and mainly stage II software. Sounds to me like you have a split DV again and if it were my money/car I'd invest in the Forge one, if only to rule that out of the equation especially as you have a mapped car.

We have seen sooooo many split DV`s just now

It is so common , I agree with Makefish , invest in a good new one that will not have the problem of it splitting

Sorry , so near to christmas too

I'm not convinced by this 'spike' theory in the US that they've been rattling on about.

This is a log run with a standard DV -

Looks like I'll be investing in the Forge one then, (although after Christmas). I'm running a Pipercross panel filter so hopefully will not suffer anymore spiking than the standard DV does.

There is no spike or surging , its typical US bull**** , propagated by a company who are looking in to manufacturing thier own product

If you buy the Forge and you are not 100% happy you can have your money back

Nuff said

Here here, had Forge Valve fitted at the same time as the re map, saved another trip to the garage to replace standard valve when that would of split.

Good job Forge.

Glad you are happy , we are here to help

I have a Forge fitted and it has been 100% reliable. have recommended them to a good few friends who also have had them fitted.
