I think the purpose of this is to hold boost better. You really need a boost guage to see the difference. Lag should also be improved. Anyways thanks for the video. 👍
Did my install thanks to your video. That top screw was a bitch to get out. PSA for anyone using the GFB T9381 DV+ Diverter Valve: the part that plugs into the wiring rotates. The connector was blocking one of the screw openings and I did not realize it rotated until the end of my install.
You'd probably have been better installing it roughly 200k ago lol. Along with a cold air intake and upgraded intercooler. But I like your honest style videos, well done :)
Cold air intake is actually only for looks and noise, it does not need or benefit from a tune. Neither the DV in my opinion. Intercooler upgrade would be the only one to make me think about a tune.
joe espinoza intake, down pipe, this gfb diverter, transmission mount insert, and tune will make 60-80 extra whp. The insert doesn’t make you gain hp but it sure makes the shifts super smooth for like 60 bucks.
So I finally did the repair, and oh boy it was not fun. It took me half the day; the space where the DV is located is SUPER tight so make sure you have the correct tools (just the right extension, not too long or short) or else you will be hurting your neck and turning the bolts by hand like me. It obviously isn't a difficult repair but it's a lot harder when you don't have the car fully jacked up in a garage and you have to bend your arms in every angle ever. After the repair, I do notice the throttle response was better in sport mode. However, when I rev my engine, I hear a clicky sound afterwards that almost sounds like a bicycle chain. I feel like it shouldn't sound like that, anyone got an idea what that could be? The only thing I missed was oiling the DV piston, could that be a problem?
It's possible that it's sticking. Probably it will oil itself, because, at least on my car, there was some oil in the air ducts, so, some of that oil will make it's way on the DV+ piston for sure.
That’s probably the waste gate that’s wearing out, very common in stock ko3 turbos that come with the car. Are you sure you didn’t hear it before? You must have just heard it since you were listening to the engine closely after this new diverter valve was installed
@@Joeymga6 yeah 2 years later i learned a bit more about my car lmao, I def have a loose waste gate. now I need to figure if I wanna do the ghetto fix where you heat up the waste gate and hammer it so it seals properly or actually replace the whole turbo... thankfully its still driving fine

@@UltimateDIY I just noticed your pinned comment from 8 months ago and you do say you notice a difference with aggressive driving, did the upgraded feel go away or something? I also ended up getting this part haha, gonna install it soon and hopefully report back
My pinned comment says that I can feel a difference during aggresive driving and my comment above says no difference for daily driving. The two styles of driving coexist and both statments are still valid.
Hey bro I installed mine but now im getting TPMs light and ESP lights issue also now when I accelerate it just makes PSHHHH all the time wont hold boost. Any reason for that? I need my car for work :(
What tool are you using? The hex bits I have are too “thick” where did you find a ratchet attachment slim like that? I can’t find anything that can slide next to the DV

Nu e transparenta, deci probabil e cea veche. La tine cred ca e problema aia care apare la majoritatea motoarelor de tipul asta. S-au zgariat cilindrii si nu ai ce sa ii mai faci. Se reconstruieste motorul daca se mai poate sau se schimba.
I put this product on my car just now and nothing changed, not even the sound which is what I was most excited about, I still have a stock exhaust and intake, did I do something g wrong?
There is nothing to figure out. This will not change the sound and you will not feel a difference in daily driving. The difference is felt only when you are really pusshing the car.
Hy, by any chance, do you happen to know why's that the coolant doesn't reach 90 and if does, is for a short time and it goes down again? Thermostat already changed, engine 2.0tdi CAGA.
Hi. A friend has an A4 with similar motor and he also had a similar problem. He changed both thermostats and checked the directional valve (it was good in his case). He reaches 90 degrees, but really slow. His suggestion is to first replace both thermostats and then check or replace the valve.
@@UltimateDIY , well, they actually told me that they changed the thermostat, not the thermostats. What a bunch of amateurs... I'll let them know that there's things to be done, more than they actually tried. Ps: I can't order those speakers, can you suggest some other, same dimensions, more popular?
All this little parts dont give you HP or TQ Its just a useless mods and waste money .. take my advice guys just go get some upgraded intercooler, CAI, sparkplugs, coil packs, intake manifold, bigger throttle body, charger pipe, and get a software tune

200k ago the car was being driven by a German lawyer :))
If I were to get the diverter valve, upgraded intercooler and cold air I should prolly get a tune after yeah?
Cold air intake is actually only for looks and noise, it does not need or benefit from a tune.
Neither the DV in my opinion.
Intercooler upgrade would be the only one to make me think about a tune.
@@UltimateDIY okay thanks, looking into that diverter valve from gfb
@@a4shaun169 A new intercooler will not require any tuning or adjustment. Swapping the catalytic converter for a high-flow unit does.
You need a lot of small mods on A4 to feel an actual 30-40hp difference
True.
Like what
joe espinoza intake, down pipe, this gfb diverter, transmission mount insert, and tune will make 60-80 extra whp. The insert doesn’t make you gain hp but it sure makes the shifts super smooth for like 60 bucks.
@@stig5763 I can’t seem to find the transmission mount I have a B7 can you post a link ?
Better than a bunch of expensive mods to feel noticeable anything. I’d say this platform is very enthusiast friendly

Hey bro I installed mine but now im getting TPMs light and ESP lights issue also now when I accelerate it just makes PSHHHH all the time wont hold boost. Any reason for that? I need my car for work :(
Something is not in it's correct position. Basically not a seal somewhere there should be one.
@@UltimateDIY I'll check it out on my day off, might need a new seal. Thanks man.
What tool are you using? The hex bits I have are too “thick” where did you find a ratchet attachment slim like that? I can’t find anything that can slide next to the DV
Honestly, I don't particulary remember this, as I have many cheap toolkits and use bits from all of them.
I'm having a really hard time snapping the GFB DV+ onto the old parts. Any suggestions?
It seems the old diverter is hitting the gfb in the middle preventing it from coming down more
I don't really remember details about this install, so appart from what I show and say in the video, I can't really help more.
i understand you think you felt the boost a bit more, but that simply could be down to the mechanism needing to be changed anyhow
That is true. It would be impossible for me to know.
Did you get any faulty code saying ‘turbo boost not detected’ after installing DV+?
No error codes and all is working fine.
