How long did it take for you to install it?

It took me about 50 mins to instal. That includes jacking up the car and taking the mud guard off the bottom too. now, what i did was jacked one side all the way up, put a jack stand under the sway bar near the tire, then jacked the other side up and put a jack stand under the other sway bar. Leave the jack under it decompressed slightly for extra precaution and chuck the back tires, if on a slope. Get under loosen all the twist screws for cover, take cover off then reach way up to the bottom of the turbo and simply take off the screws of the dv and pull it of and slap the spacer in!!! I never done this before so 50 mins for me will prolly be like a half an hour to alot of you.

The video is what made me think of picking up the spacer. I bought the new "D" model OEM diverter valve a few weeks back and had it installed. works alot better than the original OEM, but is quieter.
Thanks for the feedback and video, now i know what i am buying this weekend

I'm thinking about buying one, but I still think it sounds sort of ricey. It's still pretty sweet though.

I installed one on my car this past week and its kinda quite and its not really a blow off sound.... its more like a semi letting out the air brakes! I will be weldind up an adapter piece to try and put a (real) BOV on my car... or i will block off the original space using this DV but blocking off all the holes, and putting on a BOV on the hard pipeing when i install my FMIC

Its pretty damn loud for me and it doesnt sound too ricey because you can hear the DV noise at the sametime. I get comments on it actually. I like it. And if you dont want it to blow off tht bad drive normal and be lighter on the gas pedal and boom, Barely any blowoff. It blows of when i want to or if i bring up the rps up to a certian point and let my foot off the gas quicker.

eBay, classifieds here, Audizine or VWVortex classifieds, I just sold mine a couple days ago. Pretty sure there are 2 for sale on Audizine right now.

Thumbs up for choosing Forge. Their products are great. My friend just got one for his Avant and loves it!
