Citroen DS3

This Recirculation valve (quiet in operation) is for the Citroen DS3 1.6 Turbo engines, that have the electronically controlled bypass valves. It is recommended for any vehicle where the boost pressure has been increased by an ECU software upgrade and for unmodified vehicles operating in warmer climates, as a solution to the many failures that have occurred. The problem is that diaphragm retaining ring is made from very thin plastic that goes brittle with heat cycles, and eventually fails. Unfortunately the failure doesn’t always result in a check engine light as the valve can still be blown open by the boost pressure, so you may not be aware that you are losing power due to this. This prevents the diaphragm from sealing This particular failure can also result in the valve falling apart upon removal from the turbo, and in extreme cases, we have heard of bits of plastic entering the turbo resulting in serious damage. Our alternative is a fully engineered solution offering both significantly improved reliability .Our valve is piston based , with no diaphragm to fail, and of all aluminium construction, it replaces the original unit with a pressure/vacuum operated piston valve that still also retains the desirable OEM ECU control over valve actuation. The valve has been proved on the VAG scene for many years. The spring is interchangeable for different levels of boost, and the solenoid is plug and play with the wiring harness which is included.   In The Box:1 x FMDVDS3R Valve1 x Solenoid, Bracket, and Screws1 x 2000mm of 4mm Vacuum Tube1 x Uprated Yellow Spring1 x Wiring Harness10 x Cable Ties1 M6 x 16 Hex Head Bolt1 x M6 Plain Washer1 x M6 Nyloc Nut1 x M5 x 35 Self Tapper Screw1 x Instructions1 x Forge Keyring and Sticker

European manufacturers are pushing their engines to the limit. Get a DV to match. GFB's DV+ diverter valve range offers a direct-fit performance solution for the weak factory diverter valves used on many modern vehicles. By retaining the factory ECU control and recirculating the vented air, the DV+ is a purely performance-orientated product. GFB’s DV+ design solves the longevity and boost leaking issues that are common with factory diverter valves, and also changes the operation method to “pilot actuation” to ensure better performance on stock or modified engines. Furthermore, these benefits won’t cost you the Earth! Rather than throwing the entire factory diverter valve system in the bin (like other manufacturer’s “solutions”), the DV+ keeps what works and replaces what doesn’t. It retains the factory solenoid and ECU control to ensure simple installation and reliable operation. 10% faster opening, 50% faster closing than the factory diverter Retains the factory solenoid for seamless integration Replaces plastic valve parts with metal for reliability and strength on stock or modified engines Direct-fit replacement with GFB’s TMS benefits Exclusive “pilot-actuated” valve mechanism for rapid response at high boost   Related Videos:     ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH:   Citroen C4 DS3 DS4 DS5       Mini CLUBMAN CONVERTIBLE HATCH       Peugeot 207 207 CC 208 3008 308 308 CC 308 SW 508 RCZ
