Product Description
GFB’s DV+ Diverter valve is a direct replacement for the factory valve on the Dodge Dart, BMW F30 335i,F20, F21 M135i & Fiat Abarth applications.
The factory valves in these cars are prone to failure due to two reasons. The first point of failure is the diaphragm. They are commonly known to rupture, especially when boost and temperature are increased as a result of chip tuning. The second area of failure is the plastic piston within the valve which does not seal well and does not close completely after a high-boost gear shift.
GFB has taken a different approach to deliver a complete solution that solves existing problems and improves performance, without compromise or a hefty price tag. The DV+ addresses the factory valve problems with a very simple and elegant solution. Keeping the factory solenoid retains all the benefits of the stock system, and replacing the valve parts with indestructible metal components ensures strength and reliability no matter how much boost you run. That’s not all. Rather than using the solenoid to directly actuate the valve, GFB introduced a unique “pilot-actuation†system. This means the solenoid controls the air pressure that is used to open and close the piston, so it doesn’t matter how much boost you push through it, the DV+ will open and close reliably without ever exceeding the solenoid’s capability.
This feature also improves on the factory system by opening the valve progressively in response to boost pressure, so it only opens as much as required to get the job done (the factory valve simply opens and shuts, it cannot partially open if boost pressure is low), resulting in better throttle response.
Features and Benefits
– Retains the 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
