Default Revo recommends an after-market DV with their Stg 2 software. Is that for performance benefit? Or

Or because of durability issues of the oem DV?

I still have the oem DV for 2 reasons. First because my TT is a MY 2004 which is supposed to be DV-issues-free and second because the oem one is known to have the fastest response. So, do I still need to swap it for an aftermarket one, now that I got the Revo Stg 2 software? TIA

Default I think a few people will argue the fast response of the oem...

I am still running OEM DV with a boost machine but no chip, and I can definitely see room for improvement. if you haven't blown it yet, and don't see a need for an aftermarket, just leave it until it blows. but it's probably not holding boost like it should.

Quicker response, the ability to hold more boost and eliminating a know weak spot.

Actually, in general, Piston DVs are slower than diaphragm DVs.

Default Maybe some dvs but my Forge 007 piston felt much smoother and quicker then the stock diaphragm dv

and holds boost longer.

Default I can hold 22 psi boost 'till the cows come home

with my OEM 710N DV. I just bought a back up DV for $40.00, just in case. I'm thinking revo is puffing folks into thinking "mad boost" is gonna happen so you might has well be prepared with "tougher" dv.

Default Not sure about that, but...

when it was still called 4-bar software, it was only available for the 180's.
