CTS Turbo BOV, GFB DV+, OEM Rev D Comparison/Review

[HYDE161]

I don't have a cable but can borrow. I also sold the DV+

From a purely butt dyno standpoint the car is noticeably quicker and better performing than with either of the other two options. It definitely holds boost better than the other 2, and it must be operating much faster. Again, this could be my specific car/setup but I love it. It felt anemic with the stock rev D, and just plan less powerful and odd response with the DV+

Did you reset the battery when you first installed and test drove it?

 

[rupertpupkin]

yes, battery was pulled during install of each of the 3 setups. for around 10 to 15 minutes. then the car was driven for some time and then each video made.

Resetting the fuel trims when a new part is installed can lead to the butt dyno increase feeling. Re-install the DV+ or OEM DV, reset the battery and see if it feels less like the BOV.

I did do this. I gave them all; a fair chance and baseline by puling the battery before each. I had the Rev D in for thousands of miles and had pulled the battery many times while doing work. I had the DV+ in for thousands of miles as well. also pulled the battery a few times with that. I am now approaching 1500 miles with the BOV and the other 2 aren't even close.

We need to get you VagCom.

Kickstarter to get Rupert vagcom let's go

I love it! If he was closer I would let him borrow mine. The idea here is to test the data back to back for OEM "D", GFB DV+ with spring, GFB DV+ without spring, CTS BOV, etc.

Haha i would not hate having a cable.

so out of curiousity... could you tune for an atmospheric dump instead of recirculation without running mafless?

Pretty sure the OP is running the non-altered MAF setup.

Oh I know. But if one was making a custom tune could you design it to account for an atmospheric dump instead of recirculating the air while still running the factory maf sensor is what I mean. sorry should've been more clear lol

 

[rupertpupkin]

Correct, Off the shelf Uni stage 2, stock MAF, EVOMS Intake, SPM catted DP, stock plugs/coils. Car is a 2012 Golf R.

Pretty sure the OP is running the non-altered MAF setup.

I was reading this thread as I recently installed the Unitronic intake and get the whistle sound roughly between 3-5k rpms when I am on the throttle.

CTS does make a complete DV replacement for those not wanting the BOV version.

Just curious if anyone has installed this after getting a whistle noise under WOT with a new intake and if it resolved.

sub'd

If it works out in our favor this this is the route that will be taken.. say what you want but we are boosted. I want the full effect of my boosted car lol.

I'm approaching 3000 miles of having this BOV installed. It is my daily driver. I have had zero issues related to the BOV and zero issues at all. Car still pulls harder than it ever did and sounds great. Would not hesitate to buy it again. Never ran logs, never got a CEL ever, engine idles and runs smooth, no weird backfires or odd sounds, literally runs better than ever and with the added sound of the BOV.
