Hey Guys,

I picked picked up a 2000 TT a few days ago with a faulty diverter valve, i give it throttle and I can hear it leaking out boost like crazy.

Where is good place to pick up a new diverter valve for cheap?

 

Classifieds on AF or VWVortex (make sure its a 710n), or you could pick up an aftermarket valve. If you go AM get the APR R1

 

Are you positive its your diverter valve? I have had 2 diverter valves tear on me and both times I just got bad compressor surge ( fluttering sound when you let off the boost.) I never heard anything that would sound like a boost leak.

 

i got an adjustable dv from turbosmart i would let go for a good price

thats the link i would let it go for 75 dollars or trade for an intake

 

if money is really an issue, you will be fine going with an ebay dv. There are plenty of forge and turbosmart copies on there from about $50-100 and most are adjustable with either a **** or springs.

 

or you could pick up a non knock off from me for 75 lol

 

Actually this is what I mean when i hear it leak, I hear the same sound, i get that fluttering sound even with the gas on at around 2500 rpm, and a little loss of power then it's back

if you take off the lid to the airbox, you should be able to hear a honk as you shift that would indicate a torn diaphram. But it sounds like its already blown since it cant hold boost

 

I dont have an air box, just a cone filter, i can hear the blow off, it's really loud
