DV question

I just bought a 225 roadster I have a problem, when I shift and take my foot of the gas I hear a fluttering chirpping spinning sound. Is this the DV valve. My dealer says nothing is wrong but I disagree. Is that the DV problem, if it is how easy are they to replace or is this something I should have done? What's the best thing to do? WHat does the DV do?

Re: DV question

Yes, it sounds like the DV thats going.. leaking boost. I suggest (like many others on the board) you replace it with either a Forge/Bailey (I say Forge cos of their revised aluminum piston.. AND I get a $1 credit towards my next purchase with Pete..

j/k)

See our website for some of the answers about the DV ....

Not sure if that's your problem, but I'd recommend an aftermarket valve in any case since the OEM valve is junk (IMHO, of course).<ul><li><a href="http://members.home.net/eerickso">Ellen and Michael's TT Site</a></li></ul>
