View Full Version : Difference between forge dv's
What's the difference between the Forge Dv006 and DV007P dump valves?
Is one better than the other?
:confused:
forge 006p is bigger in physical size than a 007. They both do the same job, both are servicable. Jools has a silver 006p (piston) Gareth, i have a 007d (diaphram) in black, it looks very standard.They will make no diff in power terms.
006 should respond quicker apparently

Why?
This is how Forge describe them, make of this what you will:
Forge DV007P (piston)
Made from billet aluminium, this recirculating diverter valve dumps the charge-air back into the air intake system keeping external noise to a minimum. This increases both quicker throttle response and higher clamping load to maintain boost pressure more reliably.
Forge DV006 (piston)
Made from billet aluminium, this recirculating diverter valve dumps the charge-air back into the air intake system keeping external noise to a minimum. This increases both quicker throttle response and higher clamping load to maintain boost pressure more reliably.
Unlike diaphragm diverter valves, this uses counter balanced springs and a single piston to prevent the valve from leaking air into the intake system at idle. This prevents our diverter valves suffering any of the failures associated with single piston and diaphragm type diverter valves.
Looks to me like they do the same thing, go figure :)
006 is bigger though, maybe better suited to higher boost applications, its what im running on mine, but to be honest i can see either being just as efficient, neither are diaphragm valves, the original 007 valve was i think, hence why you now have a 007P.

The port sizes are the same between 006 & 007P... Nothing in it... so I can't see why an 006P would be any faster/slower than the 007P - hence my question why?
The 006P is physically larger, to the point of being awkward to clear engine covers on some cars. 007P is what I advise these days.... available in 'bling' or black, works just as well as the 006P.

PS. Merry Chrimbo. :D
Couldent keep away bill:p ?
get back in yer hutch with the rest of them badgers till the 5th:D
appy chrimbo:)

Sorry... sad git syndrome...
Back in me hutch it is then :)
Have a good one.
:)
Thanks a lot people.
I just wondered as my new cupra has a 007P on it.
:cheers:

test on the forge site. not saying that it's gospal though. piston quicker than diaphram

Interesting, considering the 006 and 007P are BOTH piston :confused:
The first 007s were diaphragm types, and i think were often used in pairs on S4 2.7T V6 engines.
The 007P is a piston type that was discreet in size more in line with the OEM size of the DV.

007P is piston. as is 006
007 is available as diaphragm..... and it is slower than piston one... tried one myself out of curiosity.... much like the stock DV in response.

then that is what I was refering to then :p
