What DV is this?

[Dean_T]

Any ideas, had it fitted some time ago, maybe a few years I think



I'm guessing it isn't a 007p...?

I have been away from these forums for a good few years and heard the lastest buzz on DVs (after reading for a few hours lol) is the 007p.

To be honest what drove me here is hearing a few other A3 Turbos running round with some nice blow off (oo-er) noise so I'm looking to beef mine up a bit, I fancy a bit of a change

After a bit of reading on here it sounds like a combination of the 007p, a green cotton filter panel and maybe a drilled airbox as done by wak (http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showpost.php?p=817556&postcount=3) may be the way to go?

All help appreciated

Cheers,
Dean.

Looks like the 007p or maybe the 006, get some better pics up.

As requested, more pics









The thing that makes me think it isnt a 007p is that the 'collar' is circular, whereas on the 007p it looks hexagonal, as shown on the below site;

Yeah looks like the one before the 007

If you want a bit more noise from it you should go for the Forge SplitR...

Cheers, I had a suspicion but wanted clarification from someone who knew more than me!

I was tempted with the SplitR but after searching on here a few people have had problems with them and reverted to the 007.

Using a 007 hooked up backwards may be the route I go for I think, found a vid on youtube that sounds ok and the 007 is quite highly regarded on here too

Anyone have any views about the Green air filter? Good or bad idea?

I really dont want to go the induction kit route as that generally sounds like a performance loss and I had one destroy a MAF on a previous car.

Looks like a THS DV off Olly which is a good copy off the 007P.

that's a Forge Eliminator valve I believe. a diaphram type valve made by forge before the 007p. I bid on one on ebay from forge direct without realising it was a diaphram valve, and when I contacted them they very kindly agreed to give me a 007p for the £48 I had bid for the older eliminator!

So long as it's not split, it's a perfectly good valve
