    Forge DVs

    I'm looking for a DV to prepare the car for a bit more boost and from what I've read there's not much better than a Forge.

    Question is what part number(s) am I looking for? There's one on Eb@y that's ok from what I've read on a search of the forum but always best to check. NCTS.

    Andy, we have recently had a huge debate about this. I had a Forge DVR (so called racing DV) but it was not handling my high boost application well. I emailed Forge and they told me the FMDV006 is the best for high boost applications!

    On a normal unchipped S2, the DVR would provide the best response - but you have to check the diaphram frequently. The FMDVR007 piston type DV is more robust but not as responsive as the DVR.

    In a chipped application, go for the FMDV006.

    Have a look at this discussion if you have some time - I have posted some pictures comparing the DVR and DV006 internals. http://www.audisport.co.za/cgi-bin/y...num=1104725269

      I have a chipped S2 and went for the Milltek HX, very happy with it.

        I hope I haven't opened a can of worms...

        Cheers for the quick responses though.

          FMDV006 and FMDV007 are identical internally. 006 had a bolted cap and the 007 has a smaller profile screw on one. I did have a load of them in stock but am sold out at present. Sould be getting another stock in soon. Milltek valve is very similar to the stratmosphere one from USA but I have never used one. So far, definately nothing but thumbs up for Forge for their supplier support and their direct aftersales customer service.

            I got my Forge DV006 from Badger5.co.uk and the price wasn't much different to what they were going for on ebay! I'm quite impressed with it on my 100 S4. Worth checking them out!
