Read all about the DV+ story below. Other manufacturers’ products involve replacing the entire system with a traditional pneumatic valve. This approach requires long vacuum hose runs, additional parts for tapping into the intake manifold vacuum, plus a different solenoid valve to actuate the pneumatic valve, or a ballast resistor to plug into the OE wiring loom. All these additional items result in a product that is slower, less responsive, more expensive and takes much longer to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGFB’s DV+ solution on the other hand is more responsive, less expensive, easier to install, and doesn’t cause compressor surge\/ turbo flutter.

This is a good concept because the valve can react very quickly and it only opens when it needs to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, there are some problems with these valves;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe diaphragms are weak and known to rupture, especially if boost has been increased. Once this happens, the valve will no longer hold boost pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe plastic lip that surrounds the diaphragm is very thin and pieces can break off, potentially ending up going through the turbo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdditionally, the solenoid on the OE diverter is directly connected to the valve mechanism, which is not ideal because neither it nor the return spring are strong enough to open and close the valve reliably at high boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith problems like this, you can see why other aftermarket manufacturers assume the best solution is to replace the factory diverter entirely, or change it to a purely pneumatic system. Unfortunately though, whilst their replacement kits might be stronger than the factory diverter, their slower response speed and lower flow do not justify the extra cost and complexity – more of a compromise than a solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGFB has taken a different approach to deliver a complete solution that solves existing problems and improves performance, without compromise or a hefty price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe DV+ addresses the factory valve problems with a very simple and elegant solution. Keeping the factory solenoid, the DV+ retains all the benefits of the stock system. Also replacing the valve parts with indestructable metal components ensures strength and reliability, no matter how much boost you run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThat’s not all; rather than using the solenoid to directly actuate the valve, we’ve introduced a unique “pilot-actuation” system. This means the solenoid only has to control airflow through a small passage that is then used to open and close the piston (rather than opening and closing the piston directly), so it doesn’t matter how much boost you push through it, the DV+ will open and close reliably without ever exceeding the solenoid’s capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis feature also improves on the factory system by opening the valve progressively in response to boost pressure, so it only opens as much as required to get the job done (the factory valve simply opens and shuts, it cannot partially open if boost pressure is low), resulting in better throttle response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"fws_5fe2416d668f6\" data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\" class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row standard_section\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_col-sm-8 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding instance-7\" data-t-w-inherits=\"default\" data-bg-cover=\"\" data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-hover-bg=\"\" data-hover-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column-bg-overlay-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column-bg-overlay\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnnecessary Replacement Kits Are A Compromise, Not A Solution\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap center\" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-max-width-mobile=\"100%\" data-border-radius=\"none\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-animation=\"fade-in\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"inner\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hover-wrap\" data-hover-animation=\"none\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hover-wrap-inner\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0005\/7773\/2663\/files\/feature-6.jpg?v=1608660337\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GFB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41039618834594,"sku":"T9352","price":147.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9953\/7314\/products\/T9352.jpg?v=1633744959","url":"https:\/\/broxtuning.ca\/products\/gfb-dv-diverter-valve-r5x-mini-n14","provider":"Brox Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
