Hi all,
What would be the difference between a Turbosmart DV and the GFB DV+ on a TSI motor?
Would this just be a matter of which item holds boost better or are there other things to consider with using either of these?
Help greatly appreciated.

Re: Question on DV for TSI motor
The DV+ is a direct bolt on part that uses the current interface to improve performance.
The Turbosmart would need an additional vacuum line and signal line (I think) to be run in order for it to receive a reference to control it's movement.
The DV+, speaking form experience, is a great bit of kit that's used extensively on both TFSI and TSI motors. All it requires is for you to routinely remove it, clean it and lubricate the piston. Nothing serious but great step up in performance.

Thank you for the guidance.
