Just fitted mine, sounds amazing in my opinion, still quiet when you don't hammer the throttle, but loud when you give it some! That and the fact the car still runs great.
The car is a standard LCR 225 with just the DV fitted. Will be doing the N249 bypass soon as well.

Ive just tried to set mine up today, Ran up and down the road constantly stopping to tune the valve, but my vag-com showed up a fault code without fail that there was pressure drop between the throttle valve and turbo
it didnt go into limp mode every time, but there was a code without fail.
I must have tried every adjustment on it before i gave up!
Any clues??

To be honest I just put it on the car, turned it all the way to the tightest setting, loosened it about 2 1/2 turns (to set it softer) then started the engine. No faults and sounded great straight away. I did tighten it slightly (probably half a turn) but that's it.
Have you fitted it the right way? I.e. with the dial horizontal to the ground and the trumpet pointing upwards? Just a thought.

Yeah, tried it throughout tbh mate. Will try it exactly as you have just said mate to see if theres a difference though.
Its fitted correctly too yes, its on a custom coldside relocation.
Have you looked at vag-com at all? Not sure if mine went into limp every time, but definitely registered a pressure drop.

Yup, haven't got VAG com but a mate of mine has some identical software and no error codes at all, with the car working perfectly and performance slightly better. Might be something to do with the cold side relocation perhaps?
Never had any issues on mine. Even if the pressure drop code is there, doesn't mean things won't work right or the CEL will come on.
Just went out and wound it like yours mate, no joy
How does yours sound?? Mine makes a flutter sound(deffo the dv), no matter where it is set. only a real whoosh if it hits high boost. It hits limp every time without fail no matter where its set.
shouldnt really be the cold side, have stage 2 APR, FMIC, n249 bypass and 3-inch turbo intake though, dont know if these alters anything??wouldnt have thought it should.
As soon as i put my 007p with yellow spring back on all is well again!

Very strange. Where did you get it from if you don't mind me asking? I got mine from eclipse racing as recommended by Gaz further up the page, nothing but praise for them, great service and very quick. I'm thinking the valve might be faulty, a try and get a new one?
Since I've bypassed the N249, I get a tiny bit of chatter on light boost, but a nice dump sound with anything else i.e. more sound with more boost.
Have you tried winding it to it's softest setting, then starting the car and adjusting it to suit? I've just checked mine and if you set it too soft the car idles rough and stalls, that's a good starting point.

i dont mean this to be offensive but is it defo fitted the right way. mine chatters at low revs a little but thats when im not putting my foot down.
^ exactly the same, I officially have a squirrel under the bonnet, specially after I removed the bonnet liner! I really don't understand how it can be that bad, have you tried blanking the trumpet and using it in fully recirc mode??
