Introducing the DV+ for Mini, Citroën, and Peugeot!

Say hello to the new DV+! GFB has created a solution that's all about keeping what works and replacing what doesn't. It's as simple as that!

Key Features

• Utilizes the factory solenoid coil for smooth integration
• Swaps out plastic valve parts for sturdy metal, ensuring reliability and strength for tuned engines
• Direct-fit replacement that comes with GFB's TMS benefits
• Exclusive "pilot-actuated" valve mechanism for quick response at high boost

Why Choose GFB's DV+?

GFB is expanding the DV+ range with a direct-fit solution designed to tackle the common weaknesses of the factory diverter valve found in many European vehicles.

The factory-fitted solenoid coil is fantastic—it allows for quick ECU response. But the valve mechanism? That’s where the trouble lies. GFB's DV+ steps in by replacing those vulnerable valve parts with a robust anodised billet aluminum housing, paired with a precisely machined brass piston.

The result? You’ll experience sharper throttle response, lightning-fast valve actuation, and the ability to hold as much boost as you can handle. Curious about the DV+ journey? Read on!

Why Other Options Fall Short

Some manufacturers suggest replacing the entire system with a traditional pneumatic valve. This method involves long vacuum hose runs, extra parts to tap into the intake manifold vacuum, and a different solenoid valve to actuate the pneumatic valve. All these components can slow down performance, increase costs, and complicate installation.

In contrast, GFB's DV+ is designed to be more responsive, budget-friendly, and easy to install—without causing compressor surge or turbo flutter.

Better Performance Without Compromise

Many modern European cars rely on ECU-controlled solenoid-type diverter valves, which is a great idea since they react quickly and only open when necessary. However, there are a few drawbacks:

• The diaphragms can be weak and may rupture, especially if you’ve cranked up the boost.
• The thin plastic lip around the diaphragm can break off, risking damage to your turbo.

Furthermore, the OE solenoid is directly linked to the valve mechanism, which isn’t ideal. Neither the solenoid nor the return spring is robust enough to operate the valve reliably at high boost levels.

Given these issues, it’s no wonder some aftermarket manufacturers opt to replace the entire diverter or switch to a pneumatic system. But while their kits might be tougher, they often sacrifice response speed and flow, leaving you with a compromise rather than a true solution.

GFB's Innovative Approach

GFB has taken a different route, offering a complete solution that addresses existing problems while enhancing performance—without the hefty price tag.

The DV+ tackles the factory valve's issues with a straightforward and effective design. By retaining the factory solenoid, you keep all the benefits of the original system. Plus, replacing valve parts with durable metal components guarantees strength and reliability, no matter how much boost you push through.

But that’s not all! Instead of having the solenoid directly actuate the valve, we’ve introduced a clever "pilot-actuation" system. This means the solenoid only needs to control airflow through a small passage, which then opens and closes the piston. This design ensures that the DV+ operates reliably, regardless of the boost level.

This feature also enhances the factory system by allowing the valve to open progressively in response to boost pressure. Unlike the factory valve, which can only fully open or shut, the DV+ opens just enough to get the job done, resulting in improved throttle response.
