"This spacer fits the remote mounted solenoid valves, as found on the 2007 year models, Audi S3, 30th Edition Golf and Leon Cupra , with the 2.0 litre FSIT engines."
If you have a UDM 2007 GTI you have a turbo mounted diverter valve.
There are NO negative effects from the use of our spacer. We've done data logs, dyno runs, and various tests, none of which resulted in any adverse affects on the engine.
We've sold thousands of units worldwide to date. No issues reported thus far. :thumbsup:

does this product make the stock diverter valve wear any faster then normal?
and how does the dealer stand on warranting it with this?

how long does this typically take to install?
Is it just as easier to take it off as it is to put on?
Id like to have it off when i go in for oil changes and such.
One thing I found odd after getting mine in today:
The Forge instructions say you need a 4mm allen socket, but it doesn't come close to fitting their bolts that come with the spacer; they're definitely 5mm. Is the 4mm for the stock bolts? (I haven't done the install yet, just curious.)
Luckily while at the hardware store, I picked up a 4mm and 5mm just in case.
