^Do these really work? or are they just a waste of money?^

^Is this the Forge 007 DV that everyone likes. What does it do? Should I get it from here? or is there a cheaper place?

RE: Do these work?
if you are stock, you really don't need either
if you want to do something cheap/mod, get the dv, also look into upgrading to a n75h valve....... if you are a stock turbo stay away from the boost controler, ask jeff he will tell you
if you wanna up power/boost, get your car tunned/chipped, apr or giac

1) waste of money... most of AUDI (99.9%) dont need it.
2) good, but again may be waste of money, u want feel a difference on stock engine, just get a chip and then have it installed.
3) (from another forum) DV is to protect the compressor from 'bad things' when the throttle plate snaps shut during the creation of boost pressure.
The charge in the IC plumbing can travel well in excess of 100 mph, and when the throttle plate closes the charge has nowhere to go. A shockwave can bounce off of the throttle plate and travel back through the IC plumbing to the compressor, and if the impact is great enough can stall the compressor, or perhaps even spin it backwards. Which is 'a bad thing' as far as the health of your turbocharger goes. The wheels are spinning anywhere between 100k and 200k RPM. From 100k to 0 rpm in an instant? No thanks

That is the Forge 007, and that price is the lowest that we allow dealers to sell them for. ECS also includes clamps, which is a plus.
As for what it does, the main advantage over the stock valve is that it is rebuildable and can be configured to handle 30 psi of boost. The stock pieces are known to fail especially in cars running higher than factory boost, often times the failure can be incremental in nature and happen gradually over such a long period of time as to be unnoticeable. In instances like that changing to a properly functioning valve can completely transform the power delivery of the car.
