Just fitted Bailey DV's
My car has circa 14K miles, so the OEM DVs should still be fine, so I didn't expect any changes, but now get 1.2 BAR more often than before (I have Upsolute) and hear the Turbos spooling down more.

I have been following this DV discussion for some time now. Two reps from Porsche (one overseeing much of the western USA) have advised against it. I even provided the A.W.E. Tuning site info. Will Porsche still waranty the motor with an aftermarket part like the Bailey DV, or will Bailey step up to the plate?

My OE Bosch DVs went out at around 18K miles. I have Upsolute, so I am not sure if the extra boost was a contributing factor to the blowout or if I was just 'lucky'.
The dealer did not call me at the time of repair so they put the cheap plastic OE valves in. I asked them about the Bailey (or other billet DV) and they said that they would have gladly put in the part if I gave it to them.

Interesting, when I got my 02 with just < 6000k miles, I heard the 'honk'. So, I guess mine went out pretty 'early'. :-(

That pic was from the shoot out event (one of the magazine guys took it) in December at Buttonwillow. I wish that was me driving but it was Cort Wagner....
