Nice site -
From your review
"And for those that do want a whoooosh there are those types available, but be WARNED, you will lose power possibly several BHP and your Turbo will under perform.
The reason is that VW Turbos are quite small, and rely on every bit of compressed gas they can get to do their job, by replacing the diverter valve with a release type you lose a lot of boost pressure."
Really ? - apart from dumping air on closed throttle and causing the ECU to go slightly rich (sometimes throws up fault codes on the AUDI / VW) - it'll perform the same (eg use the Forge DV004 - if you want the noise)
Agree that the DV006 is the nads though ...
