Factory valve

Wastegate

 

I happened to replace mine when I was doing the suspension change just last week. I didn't take a picture of the ones that Kasper sells, just this that it replaces. Bosch units made of plastic!! I find it rather hard to believe they put this in these cars considering the damage that can be done if the fail. (plastic & heat) Maybe there not problematic, but you can tell a difference on Steves by the build quality alone. One thing thats just speculating but a better operating diverter at release may allow for quicker spooling than the stock units between shifts.

 

Ethec,

You and I have the same one... EVO billet diverter vavles.

 

I was going to post these for future reference for guys like me that searched but could fine help or pictures. The right side is the most visable after the removal on the a-box and the air flow sensor. Do that one first and feel the hose clamps. The left side is the most difficult to get at. As Steven said you have to remove the blower motor after the intercooler of course. I used a 1/4 inch drive with a 7mm socket. Don't even attempt to use a flat head screw driver. Being familar with it after you remove the right side you can do it.

This pic is the left w/the screw driver point to its location.

 

One thing I did on the left side was to loosen the lower hose clamp first, then I located this hose clamp below the throttle linkage running back toward me. It is the other end of the 90 degree hose at top of the diverter and more easy to remove at this end than reaching through that maze and better on my back too. At that point you remove the top hose clamp put the new diverter on, secure the top 90 degree clamp first where its right in front of you. Not easy to explain but you will see this when its in front of you in person.

Corte Loco,
If your girlfriend is that generous with Porsche mods, can I borrow her for a few months? My birthday is coming up soon, you know. (I only want to borrow her for the presents, of course)

 

Sorry Boby but she's not available. Maybe in a few years her sister do ;.)

 

Well, you never know if you don't ask!! Seriously, enjoy your car and the future "free" mods!! Congrats!! :-)

 

Let's see if last after marriage!!!! I'll wait for Kevin's stage 2 kit.
