Description: GFB VTA DV+ Blow Off Diverter Valve T9458 For Mercedes C180 C250 C300 BOV Manufacturer: Go Fast Bits Part #: T9458 Retains the factory solenoid coil for seamless integrationReplaces plastic valve parts with metal for reliability and strength on chipped enginesDirect-fit replacement with GFB’s TMS benefitsExclusive “pilot-actuated” valve mechanism for rapid response at high boost The DV+ story: Better performance - more reliable Many late-model European cars use ECU controlled solenoid-type diverter valves. This is a good concept because the valve can react very quickly and it only opens when it needs to.However, there are some problems with these valves. There are typically two types of solenoid-actuated diverter valves found standard on VAG and European cars, both of which have their shortcomings. Common OE Problem #1The diaphragm types are commonly known to rupture, especially when boost and temperature are increased as a result of chip tuning.Common OE Problem #2The plastic piston-type leaks far more than most people realize (by design, not from wear), and doesn’t always close after a high-boost gear shift. Additionally, in both cases, the solenoid on the OE diverter is directly connected to the valve mechanism, which is not ideal because neither it nor the return spring is strong enough to open and close the valve reliably at high boost.With problems like this, you can see why other aftermarket manufacturers assume the best solution is to replace the factory diverter entirely. Unfortunately though, whilst their replacement kits might be stronger than the factory diverter, their slower response speed and lower flow do not justify the extra cost and complexity - more of a compromise than a solution.GFB has taken a different approach to deliver a complete solution that solves existing problems and improves performance, without compromise or a hefty price tag.The DV+ addresses the factory valve problems with a very simple and elegant solution. Keeping the factory solenoid retains all the benefits of the stock system, and replacing the valve parts with indestructible metal components ensures strength and reliability no matter how much boost you run.That's not all. Rather than using the solenoid to directly actuate the valve, we’ve introduced a unique “pilot-actuation” system. This means the solenoid controls the air pressure that is used to open and close the piston, so it doesn't matter how much boost you push through it, the DV+ will open and close reliably without ever exceeding the solenoid’s capability.This feature also improves on the factory system by opening the valve progressively in response to boost pressure, so it only opens as much as required to get the job done (the factory valve simply opens and shuts, it cannot partially open if boost pressure is low), resulting in better throttle response.
