Diverter. Forge 007p were all the rage (I still run them on mine), but then people when with the Audi/stock options.

pair of diverters will be needed. The forge one is a very good option and works well, also the 710n diverter valve from audi works well and is alot cheaper than the forge ones.

What's wrong with the ones you have on the car now? Stop breaking it!

I have a pair of Forge DVs in the garage, they were on the car when I bought it. The turbos were surging badly when I got the car, it did take off like a bat out of hell though. Downsides were, revs kept going up when you were changing gear and lots of lag post gear change. I'm not saying these were the culpirit as I changed a few other things at the same time. I think the Forge ones can be serviced though.

If you can afford the £300 it will cost you in fuel to do the 40 miles to come see me, then we could give them a go and see what you think before commiting to buying some for yourself.

Give me a ring if you want.
