Re: Diverter Valve

Here is a clip of what a CAI and DV sound like:

Thats exactly the sound im looking for!
I forgot to mention its an automatic (yes I know...). Will it still make that sound when it changes gears?

Re: Diverter Valve

The diverter valves will hold better in the stock direction.... they are designed like that for a reason.

If you are a valve engineer then I believe you, if you read it on the vwvortex then I say "designed like that for a reason" is not a reason.

Re: Diverter Valve

In a piston type valve it won't matter. When vacuum is applied to the top of the valve the piston moves and air goes through in either direction. It just sound chirpy/weird.

If you want loud though I can definitely recommend the Neuspeed CAI which is also a super awesome quality intake.

Re: Diverter Valve

I thought the DV's were directional. Would there be any adverse affects on their operation by running them "backwards"?

Re: Diverter Valve

I was chipped. Reversing the DV just changed the sound. One way was higher pitched and a bit lounder. It was more of a chirp than a pffft.

Re: Diverter Valve

also if your chiped or running more boost it will be louder

Re: Diverter Valve

On my Mk4 I had a Neuspeed Race CAI and a Forge piston DV reversed, and it was so loud that I thought the sound would shatter bus shelter glass. This is an internally vented valve.

So why hook the DV in reverse?? What advantages does does this method have? I have upgraded DV's and intake system, besides the extra growl from intake I don't hear DV's operating at all. How much boost were you running, maybe I just don't have enough boost.

Re: Diverter Valve

I has Neuspeed Cold air intake on my mk4 gti 1.8t and i upgraded the stock diverter valve to a forge alluminum one. Its pretty much like a blow off valve if you know what that is. Except it dumps the air back into the intake not under the hood.

I didnt notice any differnce with the upgraded dv but it said that is needs to be upgraded if you plan to chip and add more boost etc.

With Cold air intake you will lose a tiny bit of low end but gain some top end. I love it, you can really hear the turbo spool and howl. Then when you change gears or realease your foot off the gas you get a big "psshhhhhh" of air sound. I liked it.

Re: Diverter Valve

the carbonio on a mk4 is different than a mk5 its actually a tube that goes down low
