Default changing out diverter valves

Would machined aluminum high performance diverter valves decrease tubo lag over OEM diverter valves in a stock 2003 TT?

They do have a different spring rate in them and react faster. So yes, to a degree they will.

I had the 993 diverter valves installed in my car. I felt a noticeable difference - Apparently the 993 DV's are highly recommended???

Tom, I do live in Orlando. Thanks for the invite. Our Porsche club's DE Coordinator, Christian Engle has Sebring setup for Sept. 16 - 17. Unfortunately I have prior commitments and won't be able to make that event or the one that Chin Motor Sports is putting on. I'm planning to go to Roebling on Oct. 21 -22 if I can squeeze it into my schedule. Tim
