Would I notice if the stock DV was leaking boost?

So most think it's best to take the k03 as far as you can before moving on?

i bought a forge 007 before id even picked up my cupra, i drove it back and put the valve traight on and i noticed the difference , Also now your cars remmaped you will notice it even more, they go 2nd hand for around 60 pounds on ebay , then if you phone forge and ask for a service kit you can usually blag one.

If your standard dump is not working at 100% efficiency, it will be quite loud, as when I fitted my forge it was ALOT quieter than the standard, as my standard was on its way out. Also it will not hold boost,, and won't peak as expected, however without a boost gauge this may be hard to tell.

My dv was innaudible with the standard box but is quite loud with the RamAir so not sure, think I'll get a forge.

I know RAM AIR do enhance the Re-Circ wuite alot tho. TBH it wouldn't be a mistake even if you bought one and didn't need it, so much more reliable, how many miles has your car done?

i agree with ppl saying suspension and brakes as ya first bet... this was the way i went, coilovers and better disks an pads went on before any performance mods but as i mentioned before, u might get really annoyed at urself for spending near to a grand on ur car already and then find no matter wot u do its never gonna be quick enough to suit ur taste

handy with revo ofcourse, as i had a revo trial straight away and knew that once i was remapped id be happy with the performance
