Divertor valve, OE or aluminum after-market?

[johne]

What's the latest thinking on sticking with the stock 710N or equivalent divertor valve versus going for an aftermarket aluminum bodied one for standard or close to standard boost cars?

Stock boost = 710N Bosch valve.

I run Forge 007 and it's been faultless for 7 years.

APR R1 is a good upgrade, although I have seen negative reports on the securing nut going through the turbo after falling off, so was a little put off by that...

I've been running a hyperboost valve for years without problems too

Another vote for forge, was on the car when bought it. Trouble free since 2006

Oh great, now I have something else to worry about!!

Where did you read about this?

[Rusty]

Did a search and it came up

And the APR is loud.

The Samco is basically the same as the Forge but adjustable or serviceable? I remember hearing/reading something about that when I was in B6A4 land.

These days, however, I'd vote for a DV by Synchronic if I needed one. That's who I bought my wastegate from. Much more responsive than the typical valves available.

I've been running Jamo's old Dahlback valve for 2 years with no problems. I have no idea how long he had it before I bought it off him.

Similar to this one. http://www.newdimensions.com/catalog...20Dump%20Valve

Another vote for a forge one for the last few years with no hassles

I'd say the exact opposite of that, that's why I went for the APR, that and reliability.
