How much boost can the Works Diverter Valve Hold? I plan on running meth soon and pushing near 30psi, and I know my stock IX BOV will not hold that. I was going to go with Tial, but the idle and driveability issues are something I do not want.

Thanks for the help!

We run the WORKS Diverter Valve at 30+ PSI on our Time Attack EVO with no problems. It's a little on the high side of what was originally intended, but holding fine

Excellent, I will be purchasing one in the near future. Thanks!

that sure was an easy sell.

If my sales were that easy to convince peeps I'd be stocked full of WORKS gear on my IX

Wasn't hard. Great Price, Holds the boost I need it to, and doesn't screw with driveability or affect my idle.

So is it any louder than the stock one? Also on the drivability I notice mine likes to flutter in higher gears when I am barely building boost. It even popped opened once going up a hill. This seems to somewhat cause compressor surge if I barely let off out of low boost. Will this Works DV be better with that. I have an IX MR and run about 24psi daily too.

From an audbile standpoint, it's virtually the same as the OEM IX (aka JDM MR). The valve and housing remain the same. It's the spring mechanism and other hardware that differs. Having driven an OEM metal valve around at 24 PSI, I can cerainly attest to the flutter as it doesn't like that high of a boost level. This is most apparent under high-load situations (i.e. high gear/low speed, driving up inclines, etc...), which seems to be what you're encountering. Yes, the WORKS Diverter Valve will take care of that without sacrificing driveability.

do you get quicker spool then jdm MR?

I don't want to hi-jack so please don't flame..

whats the difference between a dv and a bov. for instence, the forge dv and the forge rs recirc. bov..

thank you

same thing, different terms

Not unless the valve being replaced was leaking. The seal should be intact at low boost levels for any valve and, therefore, all should act the same during spool up.

Technically, a BOV discharges the excess gas to the atmosphere, while a diverter valve reroutes it back through the intake piping. As mentioned, the terms are commonly interchanged.

Do you offer different springs for this DV?

Not for the WORKS valve. A softer spring can be found in the OEM IX/JDM MR valve. Going stiffer than what's in there starts to compromise driveability. As mentioned, it holds 30+ PSI and we generally aren't running higher than that. If you need something to handle 35+ PSI, you're probably need to look into a true blow off valve from Tial, etc...
