Genuine VAG/Pierburg 1.8T/2.0T/2.5T Piston Diverter Valve 06H 145 710D

OEM 2.0T Diaphragm Diverter Valve
One of the weakest points on any chipped 2.0T cars is the diverter valve. A worn, or well used diaphragm can split under high boost pressure, and create a massive boost leak.
This OEM item is a direct replacement part for your existing valve.
We specifically recommend this valve for customers running a the stock KO3 Turbo charger in the 180-200bhp models.
Had an issue with fluttering from the turbo, which came down to an issue with the old DV. Changed over to the new one and the difference is immediate, throttle response has improved, have the power back and seems to help with fuel economy as well. The old one didn't have any obvious tears but if you're having an issue with fluttering then it's well worth changing for this!
The valve is an OEM beast but the real shining star in all of this is Awesome's service. Awesome by name and nature.
Didnt suspect i had a faulty dv but changed it anyway and its unbelievable the difference it made to the way the car hits and hold boost now, if you havent changed it then id recommend doing so
