theres no difference, one just holds up to more power..you wil not feel/hear a difference
just go with the oem d valve, it is just as good as all the others, they actually found that forge and others are worse for your car..
and unless you install a spacer there will be no difference in sound
the change in shifting your thinking about is a bov on an evo or something..our cars have a dv and an upgraded one will keep the same feeling no matter which one you have
my buddy has a wrx with a bov and you can feel the difference in shifting as opposed to our cars(may just be the sound that makes you think its different)
i bought a dv d version and before i had a c version and i had spacer on it and now i can't put the spacer on the d version because doesn't fit right. Is there a different spacer for a d version.

idk if they have developed one yet, check around all the tuning companies
not saying you should do it because it does no good for our cars and sounds like ur a double clutching granny shifter on NAWSSSSSSS!
i still cant make my mind

My C DV wasn't ripped and I replaced it with the EVO, which is the same design as the AWE. I was definately holding boost better. I think the C would leak slightly under the increased boost of stage 1. However, I do feel some chatter at 2K-2400 rpm which is where I believe boost is slightly starting and the pressure from the positive side (intake tap) is roughly equal to boost pressure. It's ever so slight and hardly noticable. I prefer the simple design principle of this system. If intake manifold pressure > boost pressure then close. No intake manifold pressure, open. It works for then 997TT, it's good enough for me.

they actually found that forge and others are worse for your car..
Who's "they" and do you have any proof and/or links to back up that claim??
