Just fitted my SplitR DV. Few questions

[CupraElliott]

Is it setup right? Discharge on the bottom, pressure in from the right? It dumps so guess it is.

Just I got a little confused as mine wasn't the standard Bosch valve, it was some kind of Forge one, al get pics up of that soon

Also, how do you no when you have the right settings on it by turning the top. Basically should be dump on red line when you rev it? Because right now it's dumping well before that. But haven't drove it out yet.

 

[cupra tda]

are you selling your old one?

 

[CupraElliott]

Yeah, I will be, but no idea what kind it is or how much it's worth...

All I no is that it's a Forge, but it's not atmospheric.

 

[cupra tda]

you got any pics of it

 

[cupra tda]

sorry i didnt wait for the pic to load up.

Yeah thats the correct setup, basically its up to you how to set it up how you like-if you want the dump sound i've read somewhere that you turn it all the way anti-clockwise and the turn it about 7/8 time back clockwise that works well,

 

[CupraElliott]

Yeah, al have a bit play with it and see where I can get it. It's dumping at 3k on open throttle, about 2k it's very faint. Want it somewhere near the redline, mine redlines at 7.5k.

Yeah downloaded that the other day and got similar info with the dv. The picture they provide isn't the best, because am sure thats the Leon 1.8 20VT engine, few pipes are different layout.

it says at the bottom u can make it fully atmospheric, but tha setup would leave one hose connected to nothing

Dont set the Dv so it only opens at redline, thats not its purpose.

It should (and will if set correctly) 'dump' whenever boost pressure is there to vent, when you let off the throttle or change gear the dv will respond to being 'on vaccum' rather than postive or neutral pressure - so it should and will dump well before 7.5k if you let off the throttle or change gear

It will be feint at low rpm as the amount of boost generated at that point is lower than further up the rev-range.

You want it so the piston opens. Get a mate to check for you that the dv opens when you rev it.

On mine everytime I let off the throttle I get the 'whoosh'. More boost = louder whoosh.

put it this way on my LCR with 265bhp i only have mine turned approx 20 clicks and that holds boost levels well any firmer and it will not release boost properly and cause your turbo to stall
