Received the GFB Diverter valve DV+ today... Will install it on the Megane as soon as possibly can ! The problem with the OEM valve/piston is that it is an ON/OFF device. The DV+ from GFB is a better design as it allows the piston to move in a progressive way, maintaining the boost pressure as it should.
I am CNC Technician and i work with small tolerances down to 0.001 of a mm tolerance, and i can def tell that Forge could easily have the fault here as well... No product can turn out with the same tolerances as the other one, one can have a tight fit others can have a loose fit, same also goes for the OEM valve To be honest i work at the company that manufactures that specific blue sealing and i have manufacturer many of them, they go though tough QC any batch with one bad sealing the whole batch is being rejectet, some lots of manufacturers in play here.. But if you ask me that has an qualified standpoint, i would say the fault is major at Forge
I dont understand why you are saying the OEM part is partially blame for this issue and not 100% the Forge part? Forge have developed a part to sandwich inbetween the mounting point and the oem valve... I assume they had a part to test with to build the design and should have known what was required. This just sounds like a design fault with the Forge part, even if the oem design leaks, they could habe designed their part to seal better!?
I agree mate but they seem to think the blow by is happening inside the system but the spacer is just showing it... I agree it's mostly to blame but the standard internals definitely don't help being plastic

Exactly mate, this is why the standard internals are partially to blame... Plastic rubbish and no decent seal
