Why a diverter valve relocation?
In its stock location the 2.0T diverter valve is located low in the
engine bay within the turbo housing. Our 2.0T DVR kit is designed to
bring the diverter valve higher up in the engine bay, granting easier
access for servicing and replacement.
Further, our kit is the only one of its kind that allows the factory
diverter valve to be relocated while keeping the wiring unmodified.
But wait, there's less.
Using our FSI relocation kit has the side benefit of reducing intake
air temperatures. The factory diverter valve location directs hot,
compressed air back into the inlet side of the turbo, resulting in
higher intake air temperatures. Once relocated with the AWE Tuning
relocation kit, the diverter valve vents cool air from after the
intercooler back into the intake which results in lower intake air
temps. Less hot air.
Options are good.
We also offer a version of the kit that deletes our machined housing
and adds our Diverter Valve Simulator plug-in, so other mechanical
diverter valves can be installed.
Our included Diverter Valve adapter housing also allows any OEM or properly designed aftermarket DV to be used.
