Go Fast Bits DV+ Mini N18 2010+ Automatic Gearbox only
DV+ Blow off Valve or BOV/ diverter valve with TMS advantage. Patent pending
DV+ for Mini N18 Engines
(For both Automatic & Manual Transmission Engines)
GFB'S DV+ SOLUTION COULDN'T BE SIMPLER - KEEP WHAT WORKS AND REPLACE WHAT DOESN'T.
- Uses factory solenoid coil for seamless integration
- Replaces plastic valve parts with metal for reliability and strength on chipped engines
- Direct-fit replacement with GFB's TMS benefits
- Exclusive "pilot-actuated" valve mechanism for rapid response at high boost
New to GFB's groundbreaking DV+ range is the T9353, which is designed to fit in the tight confines of the Mini N18 engine bay. Less space surrounding the factory diverter valve on the N18 engine means the current Mini DV+ (Part T9352) cannot be used. Instead, the T9353 kit splits the DV+ into two parts, the valve, and the solenoid, (which are joined by hoses), meaning the solenoid can be mounted lower in the engine bay out of the way.
Other manufacturers' products involve replacing the entire system with a traditional pneumatic valve. (i.e. no electronic control).
This approach is really a step backward in technology (a bit like replacing fuel injection with a carburetor) resulting in slower response and effectively removing any control the ECU has over the valve operation.
GFB's DV+ solution, on the other hand, is more responsive, offers better boost recovery on the gearshift, retains ECU control and doesn't cause compressor surge/ turbo flutter. Oh, and it doesn't require different springs or frequent rebuilds either.
It's just the way the factory diverter valve SHOULD BE!
