Pulled my dv yesterday to find out why it's not working and found half the o-ring on the dv+ piston was gone and it was mounted backwards. I guess I've had a slight boost leak this whole time. I ordered a synapse diverter valve to replace it. Where can I get a resistor for the dv harness? Do I just have to gut a dv, plug it in and mount it somewhere? Can I just leave it unplugged?

Because it's a crap product.
The casting is so bad people have had boost leaks through the manifold itself.
Also who's got the best throttle body meth spacer? Talked with JR and I can't swing DPI with an engine build going on at the same time. Unless I whore myself out.
Guess next year will be DPI meth with the Integrated manifold.

INA probably makes the nicest spacer, USRT works great too. I would pick whichever one's cheaper.
wow your car just loves munching on parts huh
sheesh i never heard all of that. I just new Hyde didn't keep his installed because after tapping it he couldn't fit the stock hardware under the runners with the meth bungs.

I think I have my dyno somewhere with the flaps help "open" there was a noticeable dip or flat spot in the torque curve. It probably feels amazing because its not smooth, it comes in slower then a big rush of power
The only one im aware of was on the MaxR and was cast, just powder coated black.

So APR now wants an asinine amount of money for their rod install kit (went from $600 to $800). Looks like I'm piecing one together.
I'm just doing drop in rods as well. People who did this; did you touch your main bearings at all? No one makes any aftermarket mains for our engine. OEM ones are also $300. I know at least one person who just kept existing bearings in place, is that the norm?

I left the main bearings alone

Porosity is a big issues for a log of the products out there and most don't seem to know it. The cheap intercoolers are a good example as well.

The only change I'm aware of was an increase in price when we added ARP2000 bolts. They're rather expensive.

yea I think originally it was oem bolts and arp werent available yet, but the price of oem went up a bunch, so def agree it seems more practical to charge a bit more and run ARP at that point.

It feels amazing because there ISN'T any big rush of power, just nice smooth throttle response. :iono:
If I were to log data in VCDS, what specific blocks should I be looking at? I'd really like to figure out why it feels like such a drivability improvement, despite everyones crys of no performnce gain.
