Not specifically for audi but for my Porsche.

So I think I need to replace my diverter valves. I currently have the OEM 06A145710P. My car is running up to 22PSI but as of lately I have started to experience compressor surge



which I believe is to do with the valves (they have 40k on them).

Question is which valves do I go for, do I just swap out old for new and stick with OEM 710P or do I go for an upgrade such as Forge FMD008, GFB+ T9301? Problem is unlike the VAG 1.8T the valves are not easy to replace and so I don't want to have to worry about swapping them out or servicing them often.

I could also look at some of the American alternatives such as Evoms, or Agency power. But they all seem to do the same thing.
 
We bought two off eBay from Turbo Toys, Forge 007 copies, have worked fine for years , and have still not failed and only cost £30 each.
