Almost confused seeing your videos. Content quality is of a 2 mil subscriber channel. Im loving this content and I am doing a very similar build to my tiguan so I will be following along installing parts with you(at a much slower pace of course). Im happy to subscribe early cuz u got potential
Dude, that means so much! Thank you thank you thank you! If you post videos or have other social media, let me know! I’d love to follow your Tiguan build!

@@patricioqmx5420 i finsihed the tiguan. Full bolt ons from unitronic and cts turbo is the route i went. Plus a stage 1+ unitronic tune on stock turbo to make 18psi of boost. I have since moved on to an audi tt quattro that is now full bolt ons from forge motorsport with unitronic stage 2 making 22psi of boost on a k04 turbo
Love your content! I was researching for a DV or BOV for my 2012 CC (basically same engine), and I found your video. I eventually went with GFB VTA BOV spacer, because it has an additional piston in it which holds boost stronger and makes an instant boost release. The ECS one looks like just cutting holes into a spacer, which in my opinion does not justify its existence. Anyway, I thought it might be worth it for you to check out the GFB VTA BOV, and please keep posting great stuff!
Thanks so much! Please tell your friends and let’s grow this community! And I have had people refer me to the GFB one that I will probably eventually get. The ECS one was more for the sound. Never had any anticipation of performance gains. But I wanna try that one! How has it been for you?
@@TheParkingLotMechanic I wanted to reply with some actual seat time behind the wheel. I just took a 6000+ mile road trip and so far it has been great. Boost holds strong, and blow off sound still amazing.
@@John_cupra290 why cant you run both? The loss of pressure? I currently have a spacer but I am thinking about putting in the DV+, while also considering removing the spacer while I was at it.
If there was any power loss, I didn’t really notice it. I have heard people notice a loss in torque but I think with a lot of the other mods I have going on, it negates any negative effects of the DV Spacer.
Hey ! For me yes, I have a B8 A4 tip tronic, I didn’t notice it until I drove my buddies car which is the exact same one with just a stage 1, mine has an intake, custom exhaust and stage 1, and my car takes off significantly slower, with more turbo lag, and if I have it in regular drive mode and im cruising and then I floor it, it has a big amount of turbo lag and barely any torque (that used to be instantly) now I have to wait for it to build power which makes the turbocharged low end torque useless
Have been thinking about adding a spacer, however I’m worried it will cause a check engine light. Did you end up getting one after it was installed ? I would assume so because the ECM is going to be expecting the recycled boost that your now pushing out through the spacer.
I really like watching your videos going through the process we both have the same car. I went with the GFB plus route gives the real ability of the diverter valve plus the extra whoosh noise. I have ecs big brake kit if your still interested, what's the best way to contact u.
@@TheParkingLotMechanic this may sound dumb, but do I need a Instagram account. I don't do any social media except y Tube. I will set up a account to get a hold of you if needed.
@@TheParkingLotMechanic sorry if this is a dumb question I just got a 2017 a3 Quattro 2.0t premium, could i get the gfb dv+ and the dv spacer or is it either or?
I just installed this onto my mk6 gti. I noticed after that my car was stalling and feels like it’s having trouble getting power. Can It be that I installed it wrong?
Solid piece will operate without losing all that pressure and would give a better sounds and boost response… cutout slot on the spacer your losing boost pressure
Change out the oem charge pipe go with aftermarket and CAI, ecu tune, coil packs, plugs, intake manifold upgrade, list goes on. That slot cutout on the diverter valve spacer was wrongful designed it leaks pressure and it’s inconsistent boost whenever u need boost … get a GFB dv+ it holds boost and gives you boost when u accelerate when u want it …
According to ECS’s site, this will NOT work with a 2017 GLI. I tried to find the one that would but no results came up for your GLI. Sorry :( someone might know more about your application of this but a simple search should find other diverter valve spacers if you’re interested! Or even go with a DV+ from GFB if they make one for it! A lot of people love it and have been telling me to get it, which I am eventually. It’s supposed to hold more boost pressure between gear changes to keep you on the power.
DON'T do it,you're car will run rich,fuel consumption is worse I had this installed on a 1.4tsi 122hp golf mk5 If you want to hear you're turbo,install a cold air intake it's so much better
do not buy this, it causes the boost pressure to leave into the atmosphere to quick and am losing boost, almost like my turbo is nonexistent, lost so many races to this in just a week.
Sounds like it either wasn’t right or missing a gasket! But you’re not wrong; I lost 1 psi of boost with this. I ended up taking it off a few months ago.

What I've always wanted is I have a gfb DV+ but I wish there was dump valve that don't break the bank to go with it, best of both worlds
Truth! I have heard a lot of people talk good about the DV+ though

Im considering the dv+ from gfb for my 2020 290 cupra. You’re gti with the spacer sounds nice though bro so enjoy 🤙🏻
Just bought mine. I’m hyped
Definitely worth it! Have fun!
Considering getting these for my brand new GLI. I wonder if it has any effects on the warranty
Nice video i just got me the diverter valve + was thinking on the spacer as well , nice vid
Thanks! And I'm probably gonna get the DV+ eventually. Let me know how you like it!
You can’t use both bro if that’s what you meant? 🤙🏻
@@John_cupra290 why cant you run both? The loss of pressure? I currently have a spacer but I am thinking about putting in the DV+, while also considering removing the spacer while I was at it.
Super late to this video but would install be the same on the Mk6.5 GLI? It’s in the same back location but have a hard time getting to it
Question for ya, did you lose any power during shifts? I know that the DV spacer vents it to atm, notice any more turbo lag than stock?

I just put one on my wifes vw atlas sounds great 😂
Full cold air intake and larger diameter inlet is all I did to hear my turbo
I have since taken this off and yes, that's really all you need especially if you don't wanna lose boost. Just the nature of these mods on this turbo.
@@TheParkingLotMechanic you get to hear the turbo whoosh spool up🤌
Those wheels are the ones that look better in a corrado classic
How do you find a diverter valve for a 2021 diverter valve spacer can’t find one can anyone help please?!??
Have been thinking about adding a spacer, however I’m worried it will cause a check engine light. Did you end up getting one after it was installed ? I would assume so because the ECM is going to be expecting the recycled boost that your now pushing out through the spacer.
No CEL since I’ve installed it oh so long ago. Haven’t had a single issue with it in any other way, too.
Will this fit my mk6 Jetta gli
Uhm was there emissions problems ? Want to get one for my 335
I don't have to get checked so that I am not sure about.

Might not be tightened down all the way or something is creating a leak in the seal. Could even be the DV itself as those tend to fail.
@@TheParkingLotMechanic just got a new DV , hoping it does the job! Thanks for the response man great videos!
did you have to tune your car for this ? and how is it now that you have used it for a couple months ?
No tune required and it’s still working great!
Ecs spacers with cut outs i dont get it why they didn’t make it solid piece without cutout slot

So ecs tuning dv spacer cutout slot is best bang for the money over dv+ Gfb?
Got you ! Ok ill remove my spacer and put back on factory dv
Subscriber #600, nice.
Wooooooo!!!!!
How many would I need for a 2.0t engine
At least 4. Jk, 1 spacer is all you need!
Will this work on a 2017 jetta gli?

Is it worth it to buy? I got mk5 and i alreadygot cold intake
I really like it! Not too expensive and makes driving more fun! Plus the red is cool.
@@TheParkingLotMechanic does it not gotta make a leak? I only got stock car
What year?
2013
DON'T do it,you're car will run rich,fuel consumption is worse
I had this installed on a 1.4tsi 122hp golf mk5
If you want to hear you're turbo,install a cold air intake it's so much better
Should've gone with dv+ imo
The more I hear about the DV+, the more I feel like I should have too. But don’t worry, we’ll get it soon!
cool
Thanks
Horrible idea putting a spacer on a closed loop intake system. Makes your car run rich and will eventually ruin your car
Just let people do what they want with their cars ;)
i agree with you,i had this for a week and the car runs horrible
now i have a cold air intake and the car runs smooth again
do not buy this, it causes the boost pressure to leave into the atmosphere to quick and am losing boost, almost like my turbo is nonexistent, lost so many races to this in just a week.

@@TheParkingLotMechanic so you do lose boost? After I put mine I feel like it has less power I made sure I put it back together correctly.
