Go Fast Bits DV+ Diverter Valve (16-18 Focus RS)

GFB DV+ Diverter valve is a direct bolt on factory valve replacement. Designed to replace the weak plastic Bosch diverter valves commonly found on European applications like Audi, Ford and VW, but with the GFB TMS advantage.

The TMS range from GFB is designed specifically for the purpose of turbo lag reduction, and improving throttle response. Tests show TMS features can return engine to peak boost up to 30% faster than a factory diverter valve when shifting gears.

Unlike other aftermarket Bosch replacement valves on the market, the DV+ will hold as much boost as you can throw at it WITHOUT the need to adjust the spring pre-load or purchase different springs. This is because the pressure-balancing design of the DV+ means that under wide open throttle conditions there is equal boost pressure on both sides of the piston, so it will stay shut under boost REGARDLESS of the spring setting or the boost pressure.

These unique products are manufactured in Australia in accordance with ISO 9001 which ensures our products meet stringent quality requirements at all stages of manufacture.

Diverter valves, but with more!
GFB’s DV+ range is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement solution for problematic factory recirculating diverter valves. Not only do DV+ valves eliminate failure issues from high temperature and boost pressure, they also offer the TMS advantage of improved throttle response and boost holding.

When You Want No Noise, No Nonsense Just Performance!

THE SIMPLE & ESSENTIAL MOD FOR 30% QUICKER BOOST

By retaining the factory ECU control and recirculating the vented air, the DV+ T9360 is a purely performance oriented product that offers the following benefits:

 

  • Sharper throttle response
  • Faster boost recovery on gearshift
  • Solves boost leaking issues
  • Built to last

 

UTILISING PROVEN TMS TECHNOLOGY TO ENSURE DEPENDABLE BOOST HOLDING AND OPTIMUM THROTTLE RESPONSE

 The T9360 is a fully recirculating direct factory replacement for the pneumatic diaphragm type BPV (Bypass Valve) used on Ford Focus RS – when you want the performance WITHOUT the noise!

Using GFB’s TMS technology the T9360 can help return the engine to peak boost up to 30% faster than a factory diverter valve when shifting gears

The factory BPV (bypass valve) has a couple of key shortcomings, in construction and operation.

First of all, tuned engines running high boost also produce a lot of heat in the charge air. Because the BPV is situated right on the compressor, it is subjected to the hottest part of the intake charge, and the heat from the compressor cover itself. This can cause the factory diaphragm to rupture, and if that happens and goes undetected for a while, it can cause damage to the turbo, as the ECU will try to compensate for the lost boost pressure by increasing turbo speed.

Second, the operation of the factory BPV is not aimed at throttle response. Because of the soft spring and the solenoid valve that is in-line with the vacuum hose, it can only operate in two states – fully open, or fully shut.

T9360 installed web  The factory BPV does not have the ability to open and close progressively in     response to the existing boost pressure, and throttle response suffers when    the valve vents more than it should in situations where you are not fully lifting the throttle. The T9360 solves these issues using proven metal and  silicone construction of the valve components, meaning the DV+ will last  a lifetime regardless of the harsh conditions.

As for performance, because the DV+ features a carefully selected spring rate  AND spring pre-load adjustment, it can operate progressively to help sharpen  throttle response. This is the basis of GFB’s TMS principle, which has been  shown to reduce the time to peak boost on gearshift by 30%. This benefit is  also particularly noticeable in situations where you are modulating the throttle  to balance the car in a corner.
