You can still keep your standard dv but add the forge atmospheric spacer to it

Aye, forget about changing the OEM valve for an aftermarket DV unless you like throwing your money away on shiny bling bits
Why? I thought that it was needed if anyone intends to REVO 2 +, I appreciate that they only expell the air but is it raelly on worth it?
Does anyone know of a member that has either the spacer or DV fitted that lives close to Coventry as I'd like to hear teh difference?
And Merry Christmas to you all,

I think if you ask most of the Stage 2+ lads on here, you will find they are running an OEM valve mate
The original valve was supposedly prone to failure, but it was more common on the K03 cars where the valve is located at the turbo side of the engine, and the Diaphragm would split. As the Cupra has a relocated valve, it was not really an issue.
Regardless, VAG released a new revision valve which replaced the diaphragm for a spring which effectively removes any likely weakness. This costs under £40 and is very easy to change over.
In short, an aftermarket DV is not worth the money it costs over the OEM item and it will be one of the first things a stealer would see when under the bonnet.

Does that mean when it comes to the new year and me replacing my OEM DV because of the diaphragm, i should just get the new one from the stealers instead of the forge one?
Taking my spacer off when I get hold of the shorter bolts for the forge Dv. ITG makes enough noise

Whats the problem with those ?
How come is there so many negative feed backs on these ? Ive been told its because people are not fitting them correctly.
Could this also be the case ? I'm pretty lazy to believe that ECS a respectable company is going to sell you junk.
Please educate me, thanks.
