The weak point however, is the valve mechanism itself. GFB’s DV+ solves this problem by replacing the valve parts with an anodised billet aluminium housing, fitted with a brass piston machined to exacting tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end result is sharper throttle response, lightning-fast valve actuation, and it will hold as much boost as you can throw at it. 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\u003eGFB’s DV+ solution on the other hand is more responsive, less expensive, easier to install, and doesn’t cause compressor surge\/ turbo flutter. Oh, and it doesn’t require different springs or frequent re-builds either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe DV+ Story: Better Performance – More Reliable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany late-model European cars use ECU controlled solenoid-type diverter valves. 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\u003eHowever, there are some problems with these valves;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\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\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\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\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\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\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 indestructible metal components ensures strength and reliability, no matter how much boost you run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtected by Patents in United States of America, China \u0026amp; Australia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePCT Patents Pending\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiesta ST 1.6 Ecoboost 2013-2017 (US Spec Only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus 1.5\/1.6 Ecoboost 2015-2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus ST 2.3L EcoBoost 2019-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMustang S550 2.3 EcoBoost 2014-2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfiniti\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQ30 1.6\/2.0T 2015-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQX30 2.0T 2016-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQ50 1.6\/2.0T 2014-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQ60 2.0T 2016-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMercedes-Benz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA-Class A180\/A200\/A250 Turbo 2012-2018 (W176)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA-Class \u003c\/span\u003eA45 AMG (Facelift Models Only) 2015 - 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB-Class B180\/B200\/B250 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC-Class C180\/C200\/C250\/C300 Turbo (Not Kompressor) 2011-2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLA-Class CLA180\/CLA200\/CLA250 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCLA-Class \u003c\/span\u003eCLA45 AMG (Facelift Models Only) 2016 - 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE-Class E200\/E250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGLA 180\/200\/250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGLC 200\/250\/300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS-Class S400 Two Valves Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSLK-Class SLK 200\/250 (R172)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExora 1.6 CFE 2012-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreve 1.6 CFE 2012-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuprima 1.6 CFE 2013-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ui-id-2\" id=\"ui-id-1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ui-id-2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolvo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS60 T6 3.0T 2010-On*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV60 T6 3.0T 2010-On*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS80 T6 3.0T 2007-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV40 T4 1.6 GTDi 2012-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV70 T6 3.0T 2007-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXC60 T6 3.0T 2008-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXC70 T6 3.0T 2010-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Factory Diverter Is Buried Down Low At The Back Of The Engine Bay.
