Default FWIW - Replaced the faulty stock diverter valve with a "performance" one (from EVO) - Read on...

I used to experience engine lurching when coming to a stop and engine hesitation when accelerating from 60 to 80mph with the stock one.

They are now gone. I have not notice any turbo lag reduction when taking off from stand still but it's more responsive when accelerating from 60 to 80mph.
Note that my car (1.8T CVT) has been "REVOed" for about 10 month now.

I bougth the DV from supreme power parts for $144 shipped and paid $40 for the labor.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the mod and would recommend to anyone with a shipped ECU.<ul><li><a href="http://dv.mistertam.com/2.htm">Learn more about DV</a></li></ul>

Default The 710N valve that Audi puts in is lame...

Forge makes a great one that is adjustable depending on your hapbiits, mods and boost. I love them in my allroad.

They denied my warranty for adding my Turbo badge but I sued them for Meeelions, and won.
