Hello, I wanted to replace DV after 95k mi. My car is 100% stock99.5 A4 1.8T quattro.The dealer says stock part is the 710P. I have read lots of info on the 710N from the TTs,but most posts seems to be for people who have chips and\or larger turbos. Should I get the 710N or stay with the 710P? Will the 710N act any different than the 710P on a stock car?

Thanks in advancefor your Inputs.

 

get the 710n - its an upgraded verison of the 710p,

 

The 710n is a little stronger and more durable. They uped the price some and i think ecstuning is selling them for ~$50, im not sure how much they are going for at the dealer now.

 

Thanks, but does it require more\less vacuum to open\close since the 710n is stronger? Stronger means it has a heavier spring? Does the stronger unit affect when it opens\closes? Does the amount of boost change?

Thanks

I was doing some additional research on the web, and some people are saying the 710P is an updated version of the 710N. That the 710P is physically larger than the 710N when side by side and has a larger spring. What do you guys think and which would you go with? Remember the dealer says they call for the 710P for my car. 99.5 A4 1.8T no mods.

 

I am leaning towards the 710P since the dealer recommends it.
Other forums do not have much info either, pretty much everyone says they are both almost the same.
Some people are saying the P is the latest version and better than the N and may have a larger spring.
I would love some ideas and if anyone has any experience. What is true and what is hearsay?
