Default After chiped life of diverter valve?

I have an 03 1.8t getting apr chip. I was curious how long the original DV will last? What is a good DV to buy and where should I buy it? How much?

it will last, but youl start losing boost but your not going to notice becuase you drive it all day... i would switch to the 710n or the forge 007 pretty quick if you want to retain boost

you can get the 710n off neuspeed.com and you can get the forge 007 at forgemotorsport.com... i think thats the right one

Will I loose all boost back to original? Is the DV hard to get to and take off?

I won't hurt it because it's going to leak once it gets past the max psi the spring can hold
