IDK, I think part of the fun of a turbo car is the whooshy turbo noises...especially once you start upgrading for performance. Aside from the insane whistle, I think it sounds good. I love the air whoosh noises. Anyone who might think your car is broken because of it, doesn't know anything about turbo cars anyway.
Is horrible, I decided to test on mine by driving it without the stock Airbox, and could not stand it. I like to hear the engine, not some vacuum cleaner hair dryer combo ultra expensive intake. I ended modifying the stock Airbox, opened a square hole on the bottom section and drill half inch holes to help it breathe better. I still get a little of the diverter and air noise, but sounds mean low tone noise, no whistle at all. Like he said, nothing against IE, the build quality is outstanding.
I have dsg mk6 gti and I did intake and GFB diverter valve at same time. I don't have that leaking air sound at all. I just get a nice Pooooosh when I let off gas.
I definitely recommend the GFB DV+, it has fixed the issue for me and sounds great. If you don't like the airy sound that intake is making then (due to being out in the open) I'd recommend a close-box intake like the APR one, which they actually just made a cheaper non-carbon fiber version of.
I'm not sure if someone else has said this already, but hearing that blow off in between gears is inefficient, that's what a diverter valve is for. It saves all the would be wasted air and blows it back into the intake so you don't lose boost in between gears. I'm not trying to ACKSHUALLY here or anything, just trying to inform.
Even when i got my mk6 golf gti it was stock and i hear the BOV clear as day now i have upgraded down pipe cold air intake a full exhaust system and a better BOV and stage 2 tune its a monster
Louder exhaust will fix that. I bought mine with downpipe and aftermarket exhaust i installed an IE intake couldn't really hear it until i put the stock exhaust back on then it was very noticeable. Im going back to noisier exhaust.
So a dv+ gets rid of the high pitched whistle. And the reason that it sounds like just air is you still have the turbo muffler. It is designed to kill turbo noises.
I've been modding cars for 20+ years. If I'm not swapping something, then I am getting ready to be buried in a pasture somewhere. There isn't a car on the planet I'd leave completely stock.
2 solutions to your problem. Get the revision D diverter valve from Pierburg. It’s $60 and will fix the ringing issue that is common with the old diaphragm style DVs. Then, once you tune the car, the intake noise between shifts will be be a lot more aggressive and sounds pretty cool in my opinion so if you haven’t sold it yet, I’d hold on to the intake until you do those things and see if you change your mind.
My manual MK6 GTI is APR Stage 1, everything else is stock and have have this whine at 3000-4000 rpm but is very subtle. I have the oem piston type DV 06H 145 710C and changed it to 06H 145 710J, the latest version, and it still has the whine. So no it’s not the DV. Maybe it’s the sound of the turbo?
@@CC-uh8gl the dv+ will fix the issue I put it on my dsg with ie intake and now it sounds better, no more whine, and throttle response increased. None of the OEM DV's will compete with GFB DV+
@@CC-uh8glany oem dv that you put on your mk6 with an intake will still create that whine. That is why everyone is recommending the gfb dv+. It’s not about how new your oem dv is, it’s just about the build quality. Also yes, the whine sound is boost leaking so you are losing power
I know what you mean... I removed the airbox lower section with the stock air filter, and it sounded just like your engine with the aftermarket intake. At the beginning I thought I had an air leak, and was just waiting for that check engine light that never came up. Put the airbox back and the "air rushing" noise went away. These engines are very very picky.
Dude, drive in manual mode and slightly let off the throttle between shifts.. I have a beetle turbo 2.0tsi with a cts ko4 fbo, running a turbosmart bov... and sounds great between shifts.. Also, that high pitch noise is your diaphragm on your d.V it's broken... It doesn't sound like that if your d.V is not broken... Your diverter valve is literally leaking air... Because The diafram most likely has a hole in it or a rip... And a dsg is Essentially a manual transmission.It's just electronically controlled... With Two separate clutch plates...,
You make a good point that it just sounds like air. My manual MK6 sounds a bit better with the APR Carbonio cold air intake. Still a bit airy I guess, but not like yours sounds in this video. That whistle was wild sounding on camera. I'm not sure if I get that DV noise on mine either.
Mine doesn't make all those crazy air noises but I do get that silly weird whistle. I got used to it but wouldn't mind it going away. What is this replacement diverter valve you speak of?
@@pattyboi ahh yes I remember now I was looking into this before. Back then Idk if it was worth 150 to get rid of the whistle and still thinkin that lol. I can't complain about the power/reliability
I had a intake on my Mazda mps sounded like a vaccum cleaner sounded cool but I felt the car was sluggish low end power so I put back the stock intake system and car feels better pulls harder I guess it mybe needed a tune or something but the sound of the intake was insanely loud
Through all these installs, cat back and intake, you had no CEL codes? No P2096? I bought my GTI with the intake on already and am trying to learn more about codes from these type mods.
@@brettleonard8602 will that allow me to pass inspection though? That's my main concern atm..still have the 2096 and now a 2196...one lean one rich on same bank..it drives me nuts🤣😂😂🤣
@@brettleonard8602 car came with an obd2 wireless module with "Go Point Technology" written on it. Is that how u tap into the cars system with a laptop?
@jonm2416 the laptop plugs into the obd port. Turning off those lights won't affect inspection as there will be no dash light to indicate an issue, unless they plug in and look themselves which I highly doubt they would.
I’m new to cars, like I had a Honda Civic stock and now I have a mk6 GTI (2011) and idk how I can mod it I really want to but I don’t know anything about cars. Can someone help out please
@@Yuhlol755 🤣.. yeah that did come off kinda dickie..sorry bro. I'm in the same boat as you, as far as VW anyways. GTI forums are a good place to go though. U may want to look into a short throw shifter to start if u have the manual. It can be under $50, easy enough to install, and makes a huge difference.

Apr is still gonna make the same sound 👍🏽 I have it and apr is trash.
@@mofongo_power why do you say the Apr intake is trash?
If he wants turbo noise he needs a turbo muffler delete. As well as a dv+
Do you think a CTS diverter valve would also get rid of the sound?
Do you get a code using GFB? It does not give a CEL, however it says it gives a boost mechanical failure

Oh wow that ringing at WOT would drive me absolutely insane. I see why you're getting rid of it now. 😂
Isn’t it just a bad Diverter valve?
@@lun7n I think so
It's the diaphram of the dv split. Just change the dv to a rev g and you will be sweet
The ringing is his diverter valve not handling boost getting rid of the intake wont fix the issue
@@davidkane8660could you also just do a reg. Bov
turbo muffler delete and gfb dv+ made my cobb intake super loud and darth vader breath on pedal release. no whistle
That’s why you buy a manual... Sounds much better. If you put a DV spacer it doesn’t make that sound.
Sometimes stock is enough ! Old school guy !
I've been modding cars for 20+ years. If I'm not swapping something, then I am getting ready to be buried in a pasture somewhere. There isn't a car on the planet I'd leave completely stock.
Manual is the way to go !
Would a diverter valve spacer possibly get rid of the ring?

Dude is really complaining about turbo noises. V8s wish they could hear their turbos. Literally one of the only benefits of having a small 4 cylinder
I'm using the stockbox with a racingline filter and the APR intake elbow. it looks super stealth.
Any sound difference?
I have an mk6 manual that also makes that airy noise due to the intake and I’m also very tempted to going back to stock
I know what you mean... I removed the airbox lower section with the stock air filter, and it sounded just like your engine with the aftermarket intake.

So.....u drove your car with no air filter....??? 🤦♂️
If it’s straight piped it would sound better with the turbo 😆😆

I have a beetle turbo 2.0tsi with a cts ko4 fbo, running a turbosmart bov... and sounds great between shifts..
Also, that high pitch noise is your diaphragm on your d.V it's broken...
It doesn't sound like that if your d.V is not broken... Your diverter valve is literally leaking air... Because
The diafram most likely has a hole in it or a rip...
And a dsg is Essentially a manual transmission.It's just electronically controlled... With
Two separate clutch plates...,
Oh hey I have that exact same model and trim of GTI
I honestly think your just looking for a blowoff valve then I mean you said you were looking for a “blow off noise”
You make a good point that it just sounds like air. My manual MK6 sounds a bit better with the APR Carbonio cold air intake. Still a bit airy I guess, but not like yours sounds in this video. That whistle was wild sounding on camera. I'm not sure if I get that DV noise on mine either.
Scared me, I just bought one for my MK6. It’s manual, but yeah you wanna swap the diverter bc they go out. Get revision D
My mkv does this I added a a gfb blow off too. I think it might be the maf.
Have you dynoed the miata yet? So exited for the results!

Is that diverter valve noise only with the dsg?
Get a Ta Technix CAI. No ringing noice
