Thumbs up Initial review On GFB Diverter Valve

So I just finished installing it, and can say thet it feels like it has sharper throttle response, but the ECU is what makes the Boost Drop from 18psi, down to 14psi at WOT. I did notice that the bleed off wasn't as sudden, and took a bit longer, but I only had short burts to test, because on streets from dead stop, I would already be hitting 60 after several seconds, and then even worse on FWY where I would be cruising at 60mph, and go WOT and then be going 100mph within few seconds. I can say that the bleed off is reduced in duration wise, but it will still peak at 18psi, and then slowly bleed off to 14psi. The throttle response with spool up, is a bit sharper, but I am running racechip, and have not tested the DV with the RC system disabled. I am happy with this purchase, and think it will be a great mod for people looking for a little more "bang for the buck".

Glad there's another with positive reviews. Narry from Tornado Tuning explained the same possible results when I was inquiring about it with him.

Well were going with a stand alone unit, but Yea, I might still grab one for my stock motor right now. Might just go pick it up in person when I go to Hong Kong next month in December.

I also just hit 20psi. Will see how it reacts with the fuel cut defender I ordered.
