morning all, i have fitted a aftermarket dv to my type r. now when driving it normally ishe is fine and i can just about here the valve releasing to the air not to loud, just about right. but when iam boosting it, i loose boost when changing gears so i take my foot of the gas i hear the dv, change gears and when i reapply the gas i can hear the dv relesing more air......any idea why this is and how i can fix it or do i just need to buy a new dv....i thought the dv would only release the air when i take my foot of the gas???

 

****e spring lol what make of dv as it sounds like its jamming open ?

 

Did you also fit the gasket?

Tony

 

yes i fitted the gasket nice and secure. i think you might be right about the dv sticking open, its a baileys dv i bought of here, can it be adjusted maybe?? or some WD40?? or do i have to puth my hand back in my pocket and get a new one?? lol

 

baileys are well known for being absolute pish lol stick a forge ( standard recirc part ) or if u are going for a vta chose hks or blitz

 

If there was nothing wrong with the valve you took off, no, you don't have to dip back in your pocket. Just refit the standard one.

 

agree with splitpin get the standard one back on!

 

DONE!!
