After countless head banging i still cant make up my mind, wether to get standard N75 F valve or n75j valve. after few searches herd that N75 valve j version is alot better and the boost come earlier. im looking for some thing that will imporve the pick up.

it is a tough one
ive heard about 50-50 saying its pointless, and others swearing by it
ive no idea what to do, whether not to bother or get a J

It seems the only way to know it to try it on YOUR car.

Personally, I would say it's not worth the bother. Stick to what's standard.

really don't see what all this fuss is about AT ALL. I mean, its not like it gives you more power, is it?

Ok, so it adjusts the power curve slightly.

Noticable in real life situations? Doubt it.

Stick with standard.

well it only cost few quid extra, if i did get one, will it make the car worser or will it give it any problems by not accepting the J valve?

if its standard ( not remapped ) then it should work ok. Its meant to give a higher spike and hold the boost a bit longer up the rev range isn't it?

Are you sure that your current N75 i faulty? ;) Seriously, hand on heart, When I sold it to you, it was working perfectly on my car - I bought a new one because I thought mine may have been faulty but the new one and old one perfomed the same - my problem was a faulty thermostat. It seems like your car is eating parts right now?

Pabs, I think the N75 can give more power, or at least more boost - don't forget the N75 controls the wastegate which basically controls how much boost the turbo is making. A different N75 could basically keep the WG closed longer meaning more boost - and if the car can handle it, that can mean more power.

Its not worth the £40 it costs, seriously, ive tried them all, searchy for my rr sessions , tried a few, one caused limp mode and the c and J variants were no better than std f valve, they only shifted the powerband by a few hundred revs up or down, not worth it.

i gettin the sympton as before where the car jams in certain revs, after i replayed the n75 it was ok. im sooooooooo confused :cry: . spent and spent money and still end up in the same place.

jams at certain revs - what do you mean? when you get to certain revs (eg 4500rpm) it slows down?

N75 doesn't control revs - sticky revs is going to be cause by something else completly.
