and I don't mean a scorched valve

no innuendos here


and last time I looked at AWE's website it still said Delrin

Todd/A.W.E.

of info.

I'll admit that there have been failures of DV30 valves, and 6 of them we have seen actually had melted pistons. They all were sent back to Bailey for analysis, and the conclusion is that there was a bad material batch somewhere along the line. Seeing that the TOTAL of failed DV30s amounts to less than .01% of the total DV30 valves sold in the US, the DV30s seem to actually have a better track record than the OEM units by far.

You post *is* an innuendo, since the bottom line is:
If there was a widespread problem with the DV30s like you are hinting at, you would read about it on the various forums.

"there have been reports of defective DV30's too"


means just what it says


and I still think the Bosch failure rate is MUCH MUCH

higher with the 1.8T engines than the 2.7
