It is more reliable than the OEM, and its special feature allows no immediate bleed off of boost pressure, but not really necessary unless you are running much higher boost or upgraded turbo imo

I use one on my 435 with Pure stg2 and AA stg2 tune and love it - gotta tell you it's quite the pita to install on xdrive car without special tools but possible. I originally installed mine on OEM turbo in place b4 going Pure

Thanks!... I'm running MHD stage 2+ 95octane and see targets of 15-17psi... I'm around 1.5-2.0 deviation when logging car doing a highway kick-down to third passing scenario and wanted to get it a little bit tighter.... had the car in lately for smoke test and they did find a leak and fixed it and then tested it again but kinda still wondering...

P.s. Unless I goto a dyno there is really no way to do a full 4th gear log

So going on the scenario there is no leak was hoping this valve would make the deviation tighter... looks like I gotta go get a dyno run...

Is your car pwg? If so that's the problem and has nothing to do with diverter valve.
