***NOW SHIPPING*** A.W.E. Tuning DV1 Diverter Valve
Hi Everyone,
We've come up with a new, lower priced solution for the all too common problem of failed stock diverter valves.
Our new AWE Tuning DV1 Diverter Valve is the by-product of some extensive power development we've been doing on late model Porsches. DV failure on some of these models has been 100% absent.
Even when pushed to beyond 750hp, and no matter the climate or operating environment, we've yet to see one of these Porsche DVs fail.
It was a lot of leg work, but we were able to get exclusive access to this part, as it is normally not available separately from the turbo unit.
Using some clever and simple companion parts, we're excited to be able to offer this economical yet durable solution to the chronic torn DV issue.
No permanent modifications are required for install and it is designed as a serviceable and cheaper alternative to the Bailey Motorsport DV30. The Bailey Motorsport DV30 comes with a Lifetime Warranty vs the shorter 6 month warranty of this unit, hence the lower price.
Our DV1 Diverter Valve is a vacuum actuated Diaphragm Type Diverter Valve, as opposed to the Piston Type Valve manufactured by Bailey. Both designs have proven to be extremely reliable in street, track and dyno testing.
Some highlights:
Direct 1/2 hour bolt on with no permanent modifications to vehicle
Very similar response time to the OEM DV valve.
Extensively street, track, and dyno tested on multiple cars
Priced at $129.95 for the complete kit

What about replacing the diaphragm's, which seems to be a common occurance with other DV's
that use diaphragm's? A 6 month warranty won't cut it if the diaphragms keep splitting like the other options

Um, why is plastic an issue?
The "plastic" part is used on some OEM applications that exceed 500hp.
Our 6 month warranty is competitive for valves at this price level.
Spend another $35 for the Bailey unit and you can get a lifetime warranty.
We have choices. Pricing of a product takes into account its warranty and sometimes you pay more for a product's warranty than its actual quality. That is not a knock on the Bailey unit, it is an explanation of our price point for the DV1. A longer warranty would mean a higher price.

Wow, tough crowd here. Not sure what that has to do with performance, but I guess
beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It might not be dead sexy looking for an item that goes under the hood but don't see how it is f*cking ugly.

Plastic that is not rated for underhood temps can be more fragile in use.
This is an OEM part rated to underhood temps.
There is a lot of plastic under your hood right now that has not failed over time.
And unlike other aftermarket diaphragm valves on the market, ours does not make a groaning noise at part throttle.

I guess the context of "lower priced" should be considered.
$130 for a DV is standard for what most of the people here pay.
If I'm not mistaken, the crowd favorite is the Forge 007P. A proven piston DV at $135 with a lifetime warranty.
So essentially, you haven't outpriced all of the competition, just maybe the other product you sell (the Baileys DV).
