well its getting done properly this time, as soon as the sodding machining company pull their finger out and send the quaife and crown wheel back it should be good to go

Warren, can i ask why you bought a DV. I read that they play havoc on the ZLETS, Part of me wants one but i can't bring my self to buy one for the simple fact it makes a noise
Which one you go for anyway??

Mine ran fine with a DV26 with the standard dump valve blocked off.
It was pretty quiet as it was running standard boost and only started fluttering when the boost solenoid was on its way out.
