Introducing the new DV+ for 1.4 TSI Twin Charged Engines!
GFB's DV+ solution couldn't be simpler - keep what works and replace what doesn't.
Worldwide Patent and Design Patent Pending
GFB expands the DV+ range with a direct-fit solution for the weak factory diverter valve used on many European vehicles.
The solenoid coil itself from the factory-fitted valve is great (the ECU opens it faster than any pneumatic valve, so why replace it?), the weak point however is the valve mechanism itself. GFB's DV+ solves this problem, by replacing only the valve parts with an anodised billet aluminium housing fitted with a brass piston machined to exacting tolerances.
The end result is sharper throttle response, lightning-fast valve actuation, and it will hold as much boost as you can throw at it. Read all about the DV+ story on the next page.
Other manufacturers' products involve replacing the entire system with a traditional pneumatic valve, requiring long vacuum hose runs, additional parts for tapping into the intake manifold vacuum, plus either a different solenoid valve to actuate the pneumatic valve or a ballast resistor to plug into the OE wiring loom. All these additional items result in a product that is slower, less responsive, more expensive and takes much longer to install.
GFB's DV+ solution on the other hand is more responsive, less expensive, easier to install, and doesn't cause compressor surge/turbo flutter. Oh, and it doesn't require different springs or frequent re-builds.
The DV+ story: Better performance - more reliable
Many late-model European cars use ECU controlled solenoid-type diverter valves. This is a good concept because the valve can react very quickly and it only opens when it needs to.
However, there are some problems with these valves. There are typically two types of solenoid-actuated diverter valves found standard on VAG and European cars, both of which have their shortcomings.
Additionally, in both cases, the solenoid on the OE diverter is directly connected to the valve mechanism, which is not ideal because neither it nor the return spring are strong enough to open and close the valve reliably at high boost.
With problems like this, you can see why other aftermarket manufacturers assume the best solution is to replace the factory diverter entirely. Unfortunately though, whilst their replacement kits might be stronger than the factory diverter, their slower response speed and lower flow do not justify the extra cost and complexity - more of a compromise than a solution.
GFB has taken a different approach to deliver a complete solution that solves existing problems and improves performance, without compromise or a hefty price tag.
The DV+ addresses the factory valve problems with a very simple and elegant solution. Keeping the factory solenoid retains all the benefits of the stock system, and replacing the valve parts with indestructable metal components ensures strength and reliability no matter how much boost you run.
That's not all. Rather than using the solenoid to directly actuate the valve, we've introduced a unique "pilot-actuation" system. This means the solenoid controls the air pressure that is used to open and close the piston, so it doesn't matter how much boost you push through it, the DV+ will open and close reliably without ever exceeding the solenoid's capability.
This feature also improves on the factory system by opening the valve progressively in response to boost pressure, so it only opens as much as required to get the job done (the factory valve simply opens and shuts, it cannot partially open if boost pressure is low), resulting in better throttle response.
Unnecessary replacement kits are a compromise, not a solution.

It all started with the passion of John Adrian to create something that other aftermarket parts cannot produce. Most parts he encountered are either of low quality and are made out of inferior materials.
He decided to take matters into his own hands and started designing, testing, and developing parts that would help improve the performance of his vehicle. Using his own car as a personal testbed, he created products that other enthusiasts later noticed, which has become the start of Go Fast Bits.
The company offers various performance parts such as boost controllers, blow-off valves, short shifters, pulley kits, and more. John Adrian also acts as the chief engineer of the company. Using his 35 years of experience manufacturing high-quality parts for the automotive industry that includes Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) parts, he was able to produce parts that meet the demands of his customers.
All their parts are meticulously made using the highest grade material available to ensure product durability and reliability. Each piece is manufactured to fit perfectly on the vehicle and tested to ensure optimum performance and nothing less.
If you are in the market for high-quality products that would help improve your vehicle's performance, then Go Fast Bits is a brand that you can trust. Their products are proven to deliver performance without compromising the daily drivability of your vehicle. Whether your car is used as a grocery getter or a weekend racer, Go Fast Bits has the right parts for you.
