which diverter valve?
I am going to get MTM-chipped this week, and I need a new diverter valve as my audiworld friends (geoff and others) here have recommended. On searching the archives, I came across Forge, GReddy and Hyperboost as the recommended ones but my dealer being the MTM distributor for Colorado recommends Bosch 110(they say that's what they use in the Porsches). Anyone has experiences with the Bosch one? Is it better than Forge? It's cheaper though, at $75 as compared to the Forge at $139(TTstuff) or $135(ECS tuning). TIA!!

I'd go with....
a piston type like the Forge. Extremely reliable. Just take apart, clean and lube once a year. Yes, the diaphragm ones are probably miliseconds faster in response, but I'm not a race driver and couldn't tell the difference....besides, it seems that the folks running diaphragm ones are constantly tearing diaphragms. Put in the Forge piston one and be done with it.

Forge = Bulletproof
I'm running an APR DV at the moment, and I like it well enough. Until I made the switch last month I'd been running the 007 for 2.5 years with absolutely zero problems. Money well spent.
