Performance - Vauxhall Astra MK5 VXR

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:

The latest iteration of GFB’s feature-packed electronic boost controller now has the ability to monitor and display your engine’s air/fuel ratio in either Lambda or AFR. By connecting the analogue output of most wideband O2 controllers (i.e. Innovate LC-2, AEM UEGO etc, sold separately) to the G-Force III’s auxiliary input, you can toggle between boost pressure and air/fuel ratio display. Not only does this save you from having to install a separate AFR gauge in your car, it can also save your engine! A lean mixture at high boost can destroy an engine in seconds, and a stand-alone AFR gauge is next to useless when accelerating hard as your concentration is likely to be (and should be!) on the road in front of you. The G-Force III safeguards your engine against a lean mixture by lowering boost to the minimum setting, and visibly warning you by flashing the display lighting. Whether your car is a daily driver or an all-out track weapon, the G-Force III has the features to tailor boost to suit your needs. Set up to 6 boost presets and select on the fly, use the scramble feature for overtaking, launching, towing, or protecting the engine, and you can even customize the lighting colour to suit your interior! No other EBC on the market offers the features, control, ease of use, and value for money like the G-Force III! For boost pressures up to 50psi (3.45BAR, 345kPa) Adjust peak boost, rise rate, and closed-loop correction Display boost pressure in psi, BAR, or kPa 6 boost presets, individually programmable Unique “scramble” feature with remote switching Peak boost recall Air / Fuel Ratio display in AFR or Lambda (when connected to a wideband O2 controller) Separately adjustable overboost and lean mixture warning / boost cut Touch buttons with user selectable illumination colours Auxiliary input to switch boost presets or activate scramble ½ DIN size casing, fits standard stereo slot Supplied with MAC 3-Port Solenoid Manufactured in Australia in accordance with ISO 9001       GFB’s EBC (Electronic Boost Controller) range offers the most “bang-for-your-buck” of any EBC on the market, with features rivalling much more expensive units AND remaining incredibly easy to use. Boost control begins with a massive 50psi (3.5BAR) capability, and the 6 individually configurable presets allow for enough settings to suit all driving conditions. Presets can be selected at the press of a button or triggered remotely, and for each preset it is possible to tune the peak boost, boost rise rate, and the strength of the closed loop correction. This means you can change how much boost you have, how fast the boost comes on, and how hard the controller will correct for boost variations. Our unique “scramble” feature allows you to jump to a dedicated boost preset for a user-adjustable amount of time, and can be activated on the screen or remotely using any kind of switch, button, or programmable ECU output. The uses for this feature are limited only by your imagination – you can raise or lower boost based on time, a manual button or switch, or trigger automatically based on engine conditions. For example, use a toggle switch for high/low boost, steering wheel/gearshift button for push-to-pass, use the timer for launch control, or drop boost pressure if your oil/water temperature is high or the water/meth system runs dry. An important point of difference with GFB’s EBCs is the simple and intuitive user interface. By using capacitive touch buttons, scrolling text, and a logical menu layout, you’ll find our EBCs are a pleasure to use. You can even choose your preferred boost units and customize the button lighting colour to match your car’s dash! VNT/VGT turbos are typically found on late-model diesel engines (rarely used on petrol engines), and often the actuator can look similar to a wastegate actuator. If you are unsure of your turbo type, please consult your nearest dealer before purchasing.   Related Videos:     ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH: Audi A3 A4 TT     Citroen C4     Ford FIESTA FOCUS MONDEO MUSTANG     Holden COMMODORE     Mazda 3 6 CX-7 MX-5     Mitsubishi 3000 GT COLT ECLIPSE GTO GALANT LANCER STARION     Nissan 180 SX 200 SX 300 ZX PULSAR SKYLINE     Opel ASTRA K MOKKA / MOKKA X     Seat IBIZA LEON     Subaru FORESTER IMPREZA LEGACY     Toyota CELICA SOARER SUPRA     Vauxhall ASTRA CALIBRA CORSA INSIGNIA MOKKA / MOKKA X VX220 VECTRA Volkswagen BORA GOLF NEW BEETLE PASSAT POLO

A turbo actuator for the Vauxhall Astra SRi/GSi/VXR with the Z20 engine and K04 turbo. Forge Motorsport were one of the first company’s in the world to design and manufacture the billet two-piece replacement aluminium turbo actuator. Originally for the Cosworth, Renault 5 GT turbo, and Lancia Integral turbos, we soon developed the largest and most diverse range of actuator replacements. Choice of spring pressures to suit your car Manufactured from 6026 grade aluminium Vehicle specific Turbo specific Built to order Machined and hand polished in the UK Choice of piston or diaphragm operation on most actuators Nomex reinforced flurosilicone diaphragms Laser cut stainless steel brackets (where applicable) Tuning and service kits available Made in England Lifetime warranty* Please Note: The pressure figures listed in the drop-down menu above are minimum regulated pressure figures. If you are unsure, please don't hesitate to call us on 01452 380999.  When you fit a Forge turbo actuator you will be able to fine tune and manage your specific boost requirements, this will allow for improved response and better control. This product is built with a predetermined actuator spring suitable for, or slightly above factory boost levels. The actuator can be assembled with a stronger spring upon request for tuned vehicles, and where a higher boost level is required. Please contact us directly concerning this process. It is designed and built with the intention of increasing the boost output of a turbocharged system. We cannot guarantee compatibility with all applications, nor the ability to increase the boost output beyond a level that is within the parameters set by the engine-management-system of the given vehicle at the time of installation, whether that system is factory or aftermarket Diaphragm sealed internals are the default selection for this actuator product but customers now have the option of piston sealed internals. Unique to Forge Motorsport, this innovation offers equal performance to the diaphragm type and low maintenance due to the hard wearing nature of piston sealed valve internals. Forge Motorsport nor any of its authorised distributors can assume any responsibility for any adverse effects resulting from the installation and tuning of this product onto a vehicle whose engine-management-system, whether factory or aftermarket, is not capable of allowing for the desired level of adjustment. While Forge Motorsport is happy to supply you with an actuator capable of holding boost beyond that of your factory unit we are in no way capable of knowing nor suggesting that your vehicle's engine or related systems are capable of supporting or surviving the stresses of such elevated boost pressure. In The Box:1 x FMACAVXR actuator1 x Forge Sticker This actuator is built with a stock spring as standard. If you require the FMPACTUN spring tuning kit seen in the associated products below, you will need to select the Diaphragm Type 2, 049 option.   Please Note: In line with our policy to constantly review, revise, and improve our product range, the appearance of the product you receive may differ from the one advertised.
