I searched and since the search feature isn't the greatest, I couldn't find anything.
When I had a VW GTI, there was a trick in making the diverter valve hold higher boost and make a louder whoosh!
We would reverse the valve. The boost is no longer pushing the valve open, but instead is hold the valve closed.
I just adopted a stock 96 GS-T Spyder and noticed how slow it was. Removed the notorious valve and noticed how easy air gets by in the standard direction, but holds in the reverse. Installed backwards (see attachment) and now I can spin tires in first.
I am going to try and keep the car as stock "looking" as possible, so I am going to keep the stock valve till it breaks. I have a Turbo XS on standby when it goes.
I have a long road of work ahead of me.
