GFB DV+ T9358 Diverter valve Mini Cooper S/ JCW R55-R61 N18B16

Many vehicle manufacturers use an electrically controlled original valve, which is all too often defective or leaking ex works.

The original valves are already leaking ex works at higher boost pressure, which causes a loss of power that is even more pronounced in performance-enhanced vehicles due to the higher boost pressure.

By installing the GFB DV+ diverter valve, this "hole" in the charge air system is closed, resulting in the turbocharger having to work less for the required boost pressure.
In addition, the DV+ has a mechanism that promotes better throttle response:
When the load changes, just enough pressure remains in the charge air system so that when the throttle is opened again, a certain amount of pressure does not have to be built up again in the system.

This valve can only be used in conjunction with the original solenoid valve unit, i.e. the original electrical control of the valve is retained.
Other manufacturers convert the electrical control back to a pneumatic one, which has the disadvantage of a slower reaction time of the valve. This is not the case with the GFB DV+!

Advantages:
- 100% tight even at high charge pressures (error-free up to 2.5 bar)
- noticeably more power and torque
- made of aluminium (body) or brass (piston): more reliability and durability for higher performance vehicles
- Faster boost pressure build-up compared to an original blow off valve
- Plug & Play: Easy installation within 10-15 minutes, as the original control unit is retained
