Dude, that means so much! Thank you thank you thank you! If you post videos or have other social media, let me know! I’d love to follow your Tiguan build!

@@TheParkingLotMechanic Tjkoenig13 on instagram. I just started an aquarium channel on youtube called pufferposts. Dont know its going anywhere. I may start using this one for longboarding, airsoft, boxing, guns and all the crazy stuff i do. Im not the best with cameras or editing but i may try. I have a 73 beetle project that was started and once its street legal I believe we are gonna create an insta for the build

I want to build my Tiguan as well, I would love to see your Tiguan

@@patricioqmx5420 i finsihed the tiguan. Full bolt ons from unitronic and cts turbo is the route i went. Plus a stage 1+ unitronic tune on stock turbo to make 18psi of boost. I have since moved on to an audi tt quattro that is now full bolt ons from forge motorsport with unitronic stage 2 making 22psi of boost on a k04 turbo

Definitely worth it! Have fun!

Thanks! And I'm probably gonna get the DV+ eventually. Let me know how you like it!

You can’t use both bro if that’s what you meant? 🤙🏻

Truth! I have heard a lot of people talk good about the DV+ though

Thanks so much! Please tell your friends and let’s grow this community! And I have had people refer me to the GFB one that I will probably eventually get. The ECS one was more for the sound. Never had any anticipation of performance gains. But I wanna try that one! How has it been for you?

@@TheParkingLotMechanic I wanted to reply with some actual seat time behind the wheel. I just took a 6000+ mile road trip and so far it has been great. Boost holds strong, and blow off sound still amazing.

That means so much! Thank you thank you! Just out here being myself and trying to make the best videos I can! Thank you again!

If there was any power loss, I didn’t really notice it. I have heard people notice a loss in torque but I think with a lot of the other mods I have going on, it negates any negative effects of the DV Spacer.

Hey ! For me yes, I have a B8 A4 tip tronic, I didn’t notice it until I drove my buddies car which is the exact same one with just a stage 1, mine has an intake, custom exhaust and stage 1, and my car takes off significantly slower, with more turbo lag, and if I have it in regular drive mode and im cruising and then I floor it, it has a big amount of turbo lag and barely any torque (that used to be instantly) now I have to wait for it to build power which makes the turbocharged low end torque useless

No CEL since I’ve installed it oh so long ago. Haven’t had a single issue with it in any other way, too.

Wooooooo!!!!!

I may swap over to the GFB DV+ but I am happy with the spacer now. And I am still interested! Hit me up on Instagram @theparkinglotmechanic

@@TheParkingLotMechanic this may sound dumb, but do I need a Instagram account. I don't do any social media except y Tube. I will set up a account to get a hold of you if needed.

@@TheParkingLotMechanic sorry if this is a dumb question I just got a 2017 a3 Quattro 2.0t premium, could i get the gfb dv+ and the dv spacer or is it either or?

Might not be tightened down all the way or something is creating a leak in the seal. Could even be the DV itself as those tend to fail.

@@TheParkingLotMechanic just got a new DV , hoping it does the job! Thanks for the response man great videos!

No tune required and it’s still working great!

According to ECS’s site, this will NOT work with a 2017 GLI. I tried to find the one that would but no results came up for your GLI. Sorry :( someone might know more about your application of this but a simple search should find other diverter valve spacers if you’re interested! Or even go with a DV+ from GFB if they make one for it! A lot of people love it and have been telling me to get it, which I am eventually. It’s supposed to hold more boost pressure between gear changes to keep you on the power.

At least 4. Jk, 1 spacer is all you need!

I have since taken this off and yes, that's really all you need especially if you don't wanna lose boost. Just the nature of these mods on this turbo.

@@TheParkingLotMechanic you get to hear the turbo whoosh spool up🤌

I don't have to get checked so that I am not sure about.

Solid piece will operate without losing all that pressure and would give a better sounds and boost response… cutout slot on the spacer your losing boost pressure

Change out the oem charge pipe go with aftermarket and CAI, ecu tune, coil packs, plugs, intake manifold upgrade, list goes on. That slot cutout on the diverter valve spacer was wrongful designed it leaks pressure and it’s inconsistent boost whenever u need boost … get a GFB dv+ it holds boost and gives you boost when u accelerate when u want it …

So ecs tuning dv spacer cutout slot is best bang for the money over dv+ Gfb?

Got you ! Ok ill remove my spacer and put back on factory dv

I really like it! Not too expensive and makes driving more fun! Plus the red is cool.

@@TheParkingLotMechanic does it not gotta make a leak? I only got stock car

2013

Thanks

The more I hear about the DV+, the more I feel like I should have too. But don’t worry, we’ll get it soon!

Just let people do what they want with their cars ;)

Sounds like it either wasn’t right or missing a gasket! But you’re not wrong; I lost 1 psi of boost with this. I ended up taking it off a few months ago.

@@TheParkingLotMechanic so you do lose boost? After I put mine I feel like it has less power I made sure I put it back together correctly.
