Air intake question

[Haydennedyah]

Nah I wouldn't get a gti, as I like the jetta look, once I've had enough warranty il be getting a tune and make it as fast as a gti and stop there

You won't be able to get away without voiding your warranty if you want the performance gains - you run the risk of having a warranty claim voided. Just as a side not I think anyone looking at a car that has a lot of peripheral mods around the engine (air intake, DV, etc) will immediately think that the car has been tuned. It's kind of like a red rag to a bull.

Though if you have a good relationship with the service guys you should be OK.... right???

That white Jetta was done by one of the parts guys locally - he got the complete kit in and had it painted/fitted. He also had the 118TSI manual.

Yeh I worked for VW so I'm pretty aware, only tuning will be an issue for as it would be put on line then that's when issues will arise.
Il be getting tune after most warranty is done so 3 4 years

Finally got around to putting in the GFB DV+

This is how it sounds now:

sounds awesome, has your golf been tuned?
How many Ks on the 118 ?
Edit just saw it is tuned
-
How long have you had it tuned?

[The_Hawk]

Yeah, APR Stage 1, Been running the tune pretty much since new. It's only don't 25k ish but hasn't missed a beat.
It's also been down the drag strip, the 1000m strip (pretty much topped out at 202 ) and a few race tracks too.

Far out i wish my Ks would be that low. My jetta is already 11000, what engine code is your engine?
Thats awesome, i really like this engine, really nice low end torque, so want to tune it but because i do so many ks i dont know if it will have a increased faliure rate.
At the moment though my wheels are costing me haha

Is that stock just with the GFB DV+ and APR Stage 1 or does it have other mods like a CAI?

My Occy RS Stage 1 with GFB DV+ doesn't sound anything like that.

[The_Hawk]

Yeah, it's the CAI that lets it make all the noise since it's so open vs the heavily baffled stock air box.

Hey guys I've bought the DV+ too but have been putting off throwing it in as i read people had CELs being thrown up when using the spring that comes with it.
The forums i read that from were pretty old and i bought the revised DV+.
Can anyone confirm?

Take out the spring. The spring is not needed for it to work just like the stock DV. The spring provides the + aspect but if you encounter CEL's they recommend you just remove it.

[pocketpunch]

Yeah seems the way to go for now.
Dont have vagcom and I dont fancy riding around with CEL lit up.
I believe the original dv+ had a weaker spring and that made it trigger.

[Rawcpoppa]

The original DV works like the DV+ would without the spring. The trigger for cel is how the DV+ controls the boost with the extra spring installed. It doesn't let off all the boost in an attempt to give better throttle response. Some guys just clear the cel and it never comes on again. Maybe you can find someone with vagcom and try that first before removing the extra spring?

[The_Hawk]

I've not had any CEL or issues with the DV+ in mine.

Are you running the big spring that doesnt vent all the boost? Or just running it as a oem dv?
