DV problem?
So, do I have the dreaded DV problem I have read so much about?
Between shifts at somewhat heavy acceleration as I lift off the gas I get a "woosh" sound. Also, if I am not accelerating hard, I hear a faint soft "puff, puff, puff..." sound when lifting. No honking noise. Doesn't seem to have lost any power. No hesitation. No "check engine" light.
If not a DV problem, any other ideas?
225QR...13,000 miles.
Thanks in advance for the input.

It's not so much a 'dreaded' problem unless, of course, it totally fails and blows your turbo.
Plain and simple, the OEM valve is a plastic piece of junk that is prone to failure. Do yourself a favor and install a Forge or Bailey valve, and most likely your problem will be resolved.<ul><li><a href="http://members.home.com/eerickso">Install Instructions</a></li></ul>
