Opinions on Forge FMDVR diverter valve.
I am asking here as I know some here have purchased it. A retailer didnt want to sell it to me cause they feel that it isn't a quality product now so they are pulling it off their website. Any findings on this with 1.8T? I have a feeling this was on their S4s.
I really wanted to get this valve as it is a diaphragm and not piston. 2 reasons for that choice. On the A4, the valve is in a really inaccessible location for easy maintenance (oiling the piston). I also feel the diaphragm is faster and smoother on the dump.

though they occasionally blow diaphragms, they've made a LOT of people very happy...
and i can't say that i've ever seen any significant problems with any products that forge has released in the US.
however, if and when you did blow a diaphragm, you'd still have to deal with digging out your DV to change it.

Thats what they are saying, it blows too often. Trying to get a feel of how often.
If it's nill to infrequent, then I don't mind.
BTW, which spring do you guys run?

Having both the DVR (diaphram) and 007 (piston) - I prefer the DVR
I've got a 007 and it does stick, even after lubing with Mobil 1 grease. My DVR has blown a dime size hole in it, put I replaced easily with another diaphram.
I like the ability to change spring rates on the DVR.
Why not relocate your DV to a more easily serviced location?

I currently only have a stock audi tt bpv. BTW, will Forge replace diaphrams? If not how much?
I am upgrading to stage 3 soon hence the reason for and upgraded bpv.
