***NOW SHIPPING*** A.W.E. Tuning Mechanical Diverter Valve Kit for 2.0T

[Alex/AWE]

Hi Folks,

As you all know, the current factory DV is *still* a problematic design.

We've seen too many of these DVs fail no matter if running a big turbo, stock, or any power level in between.

Meanwhile, we've been doing extensive power development on late model Porsches, and DV failure on some of these models has been 100% absent.

Even when pushed to beyond 750hp, and no matter the climate or operating environment, we've yet to see one of these Porsche DVs fail.

It was a lot of leg work, but we were able to get exclusive access to this part, as it is normally not available separately from the turbo unit.

We were able to adapt it to the 2.0T engine via some clever and simple companion parts, and we're thrilled to be able to offer this economical yet durable solution to the chronic DV issue.

Some highlights:

Direct 1/2 hour bolt on with no permanent modifications to vehicle

No Check Engine Light

Very similar response time to the OEM electronic valve

Extensively street, track, and dyno tested on multiple cars

Priced at $129.95 for the complete kit



In stock, and ready to ship!

will this be included in your upcoming BT kit?

thanks.

Yes it will be included in the kit.

[EMAXX]

So is this a whole new valve, or just the parts to make the factory valve stronger?

It is a completely new piece.

[KarimS3]

wow that is a fantastic piece of equipment. thanks!

one quick question, do you guys know a single way to find out if the oem dv is shot? i'm assuming looking at boost levels is a good indicator

[tre]

nice. I'm glad this is finally available. My car seems to eat DVs for lunch. I think I mentioned this was about to be available a couple weeks ago - I'm glad the is another alternative to stock or Forge.

[korbis]

How does it sound in comparison to the stock DV?

[Turn10]

Cool stuff.

[RedS-line]

great idea! its on my list if i ever need a new one. does the pic only show the conversion parts? call me dumb but where is the actual dv in the pic? and how come no porsche sticker with the kit? j/k :)

[cstarky15]

Looks good and much better then $250 for a Forge if it does what it says. You ahve yet to break one?

[Josh_877]

How does it sound in comparison to the stock DV?

bump

[DownUnderSLine]

Neat ! Looks like a nice cost effective solution.

Are there any noticable implications of this not being ECU controlled like the Forge product ?

...actually hoping it doesn't vent at low rpm/low load conditions like oem does !

[Cosworth]

Yes Is How Do We Find Out If It Is Shot? I Imagine It Needs To Be Taken Out?

3rd! I asked this on Audiworld also, and I hasn't been answered...

[Fobia]

on the top of my mod list!

ill just wait till mine breaks.


btw.. i read your write up underneath the product.. since vw/audi/porsche all are the same .. how come they didnt just strap this on the car.?

[rayiish]

My Dv actually gave out today and I'm looking for either the Forge or this AWE one. I just worried that the AWE being a new item might fail or something but it does look promising.

[TunaRollZ]

looks like a great piece Alex! I'll be getting this to replace my OEM when its time comes. AWE products haven't let me down yet. The Audi and the Porsche love em.

[LimiTed]

i think i might just have to pick this up as well

[Nico]

Why do you call it Mechanical? Is it mechanical like the forge or is it a diaphram design like the stock one? It looks like a diaphram design from the picture.
Also what is the response like compared to stock?

[rayiish]

A response from AWE would be great because I really need to order one this afternoon or tomorrow the latest.

[Six Speed Turbo]

Forget the sticker........ where the hell is blow pop goodness in this packaged deal. Come on AWE you're starting to slack !!!!!

[vroompshert]

Anyone with a sound clip?

[Alex/AWE]

Checking boost levels is a good way. A torn DV will show itself as a boost leak. The only way to be sure that your oem dv is no longer functioning would be to remove it and check the valve itself.

How does it sound in comparison to the stock DV?

Anyone with a sound clip?

It will sound very similar to the stock DV.

You ahve yet to break one?

We haven't broken one yet. It has stood up to 750hp without a problem. Street, track and dyno tested.

Are there any noticable implications of this not being ECU controlled like the Forge product ?...actually hoping it doesn't vent at low rpm/low load conditions like oem does !

In normal driving situations you will not notice any difference between our DV Kit and the stock unit. Our unit will sound and react very similar to the stock unit.

The factory ecu has many safeguards built into it for various conditions, one of them being overboost. With electronically controlled valves, if the ecu senses overboost, it can open the DV valve to vent boost as a safeguard. Since our DV kit is completely mechanical, the ecu will not be able to control it in this situation, however the ecu has many more safeguards built in to prevent overboost. If it cannot open the DV valve for some reason, it will also automatically close the throttle, which will cause vacuum in the manifold and force our DV open. The DV is simply the first safeguard in place for this situation, however the car has many more safeguards in place.

However, this is assuming that the stock DV is not already torn and malfunctioning, which happens pretty often!

My Dv actually gave out today and I'm looking for either the Forge or this AWE one. I just worried that the AWE being a new item might fail or something but it does look promising.

While we are just beginning to offer this DV for the Audi and VW market, it is not a new product. It has been thousands of miles of testing on the street, track and dyno. It has stood up to 750hp and beyond. It can take what you throw at it.

Why do you call it Mechanical? Is it mechanical like the forge or is it a diaphram design like the stock one? It looks like a diaphram design from the picture.
Also what is the response like compared to stock?

There are various designs for mechanical diverter valves. Some, like Forge, are a piston style unit, while ours uses a diaphragm.

Our design uses a diaphragm, but it is still a mechanical unit. It is vacuum actuated, meaning it will open whenever there is vacuum in the manifold. It is not controlled by the ecu.

The response is incredibly similar to stock. We were unable to tell a difference in response time between the two units when driving around normally. Once we did some testing with our scantool we were able to measure a difference of a few milliseconds between stock and our DV kit. Nothing that you will ever be able to notice.

[Alex/AWE]

Forget the sticker........ where the hell is blow pop goodness in this packaged deal. Come on AWE you're starting to slack !!!!!

Haha, don't worry a blow pop is shipped with every order. We just don't include them in the photographs.

[rayiish]

Order placed. I better get my blowpop!

[ThirdStrike]

wow. i didnt know awe was selling GM parts now.

/double post

[Alex/AWE]

wow. i didnt know awe was selling GM parts now.

The cap you see is not a GM part. It is manufactured by Borg Warner; the company that produces turbos for many OEMs including VW, Audi, Porsche, GM and Mercedes. They use the cap on a variety of turbo applications, from the units used on the 997TT to the ones used on the Pontiac Solstice GXP.

You'll just have to wait and see won't you.

Dont worry about anything Thirdstrike has to say, he's a troller that does nothing more than stir the pot because he has no life. If it weren't for the fact he was trying to bash your product, I wouldn't even respond to him; at this point, most people know to ignore his posts.

There are many who would rejoice if the admins banned him, which should be done (**flags down Anthony!**).

who's trolling?
this is identical to a gm part. the part numbers match exactly. i was simply pointing this fact out, not bashing his product
go to a chevy dealer and they might sell you one for considerably cheaper

[Todd/AWE]

No, the part numbers do not match. The concept is similar to the GM one, but the parts are not the same.

We've been testing this Porsche valve for while now on many different platforms with no issues and now we've released a kit to adapt it to the 2.0T.

[rayiish]

Just got my DV today and it came with a BLOWPOP! Thanks Alex!

[Alex/AWE]

Bump!

Yeah great idea... lets get one out of the many parts needed for this DV from chevy for cheaper... good luck on that. Let's just piece this thing together and see how much it will cost!

Some things you didn't bother thinking of:
mass production
mass manufacturing
R&D
parts inspection & quality assurance
customer service

Thanks for the support.


Plus, it is not the same part from GM.

Here is proof. Spring from GM valve is much weaker.

[agorich]

SNAP!!!!!!!! ....hahaha. can somone post another "PWNED" picture

[k-f-j]

It isn't an Audi but here we go

[agorich]

....bishes! hahahahaha
