First of all, a BIG thanks to Edwin for the assistance!!!
As some of you may have known, my dv has been suspected of being torn and that I've been losing boost. Edwin helped me do some tq/hp logs on the vagcom and I was just doing 170hp/190tq. Today, I got the newer revision "G" valve and replaced mine. Apparently, my old dv (revision "B") was actually torn more than I had expected lol. Here are some pics. With the vagcom readings after the install, I'm back up at 225tq/203hp. Feels like my car got 1/2 chipped from before now hahaha. Mind you, these hp/tq numbers are from the crank. =)
Notice the area circled red.
Mandatory needed are T25 torx and 5mm hex.
Suggested tools are different extensions/ratchets etc to reach the 3 bolts that holds the DV on.
