Hi Johnny - cheers for the response!

Have checked out the usual sites since starting this thread, so will see what comes back, would be good to hear what the Scooby veterans recommend tho'. Incidently I don't really wanna spend a rediculous amount of money, but I guess you only get what you pay for eh!

Cheers for the offer of letting hear it m8, but reckon I'd struggle given all the other noises your mota makes! - I'll pay close attention the next time I'm out!

Thomo.

P.S. MY03!

The HKS is generally regarded as the safest option. A bit more expensive, but still this side of 300 usually.

Hey Kart_man.

Safest option...... as in...? Are there 'un-safe' DV's out there then, and what makes them so??

VTA's (vent to atmosphere) are regarded as unsafe as the 'loss' of air is not accounted for by the MAF sensor and thereby affects fueling (hence the occassional flame ). I ran a VTA for a few months, loved it and had no problems. Your warranty will be fine as the dump valve is easy to switch back over with the original if there is any problem or service

If you go for the HKS (or any other Japanese DV) try www.takakaira.com or www.checkerflag.co.jp for prices cos even with your import tax its still cheaper than getting one in this country

I bought my HKS SSQ from Taka Kaira for the Scoob & Blitz Dv for the GTI-R from Checker Flag saved almost £80 a time

Or...contact Simon Lau at www.stiracing.com
Bought a lot of stuff from him, very reasonable.
