I took my DV off today so I could find out what it was. Comparing the dv to the products on the forge website it is a black anodised FDV006 Piston Closed Loop Diverter Valve rather than the recommended 007. Is this ok, your thoughts please? I have attached the link to my dv and all the product specification. To be honest the details don't imply that the DV would have an adverse effect on performance however would the 007 work better?

Suitable for ALL turbo cars with an Air Flow Meter

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
 
Cheers for the reassuring reply Andy. When the car boosts the DV can get quite animated and the larger size of the FDV006 probably explains the scratch on the top then!!!
 
006 is the predecessor.. big and baulky compared to the more compact 007P
I had one... works fine
