Could an air intake cause DV problems? ...

I have a neupseed p-flo and now my DV is blown, could this problem be caused by the intake? I dont want to be faced with the same problem after replacing the valve.

What are your impressions on your p-flow intake?

Do you like?
How long have you had it?
Any major difference?

Re: Could an air intake cause DV problems? ...

This is completely unscientific, but I also had my second Bosch DV blow the day after I installed my P-Flow intake last year - the wrrrrring noise from the DV started almost immediatly. Always wondered if it was coincidence, or already there and the P-flow exacerbated it, or was there just a lot more air pushing that weak diaphram?

I am happy with it >>

The only impact that it has on the car is sound - you can hear the turbo spool and dump a lot more. As far as performance goes its hard to say, I think it is supposed to only add around 7hp, I cant feel any difference.
