hey - i am looking for an upgraded DV now that i am getting chipped this coming week.

that being said, i think the BOV 'whoosh' sounds are very ricey / annoying (IMO) so im not looking for anything thats going to be very loud, i wouldnt mind a little noise but the full blown whoosh every time i shift would make me insane

SO i was looking into it and see that i can use a 710N DV. i was offered that DV and a SPW boost gauge for $55 . would you recommend this? or should i get something better than a 710N...?

thanks in advance

 

Sounds like a good deal for the 710N and boost gauge. I posted this in the chip thread... If you're interested in a forge style valve, I'll sell my forge splitter for $140 shipped. I don't use the venting option, and I'd just get an 007 or something.

It gives a subtle woosh when you let off the gas if you chose to set it up for vent instead of 100% recirc, nothing like a regular bov, it vents something like 10%. I'm not a fan of non serviceable/non adjustable DV's like the 710N, but it would work for your needs.

 

sounds like a good deal. i'd get it. 007 would be better but more expensive

 

what do you mean BETTER? just curious

 

the 710N is the one from the TT so it can still blow, the 007 is aluminum, so unless your running like 50PSI boost have fun trying to blow it

 

i thought a recommended upgrade to our stock one was the one from the TT, how hard is it to blow?

does anyone use a 710N with their chipped 1.8t? let me know, thanks

***i will have only 91 octane, not 93 if that makes any difference for how much boost or anything. idk

 

A forge style valve will never break. Thats the main thing. The diaphragm in my 710N tore after about a year of 20psi daily. It should not have, but it did. I personally would not buy one used... But again... $50 for it and a boost gauge is a great deal.

 

im using a 710N in my GIAC chipped car. its almost been a year. no problems. i'm running about 15psi boost. i would have gone with a forge but i was low on money after getting chipped haha. but i dont regret using the 710N.

make sure you like the look of the boost gauge though. i have a vdo and i like it alot, looks stock.

hope that helps.

i like my glowshift gauge.. it looks almost the same as the vdo gauge, and u can change the colors, but default is red and it matches nicely

 

Just fwiw, if you decide against this deal, I highly recommend and am a giplantic fan of the APR center vent/vdo gauge. This is after swapping out of the 00, still need to hook up the wiring for the light. It'll look nice when it lights up red
