Part Number: T9369

Description: GFB Diverter Valve DV+

Notes: Not for sale in California not CARB Legal

Fitment: 22+ Subaru WRX

Details:

The FA24 engine in the 2022+ WRX now uses an electronically controlled factory diverter in place of the pneumatic bypass valve found on all previous turbo Subaru engines.

Factory electronic diverter valves have been around since 2006 (particularly on European engines), and on the surface, it sounds like an advancement in technology, but in reality, it’s a step backward in performance and reliability. Electronic diverters may react to throttle closures faster than a pneumatic valve, but longevity and boost sealing are issues because their valve mechanism is made entirely of molded plastic. Importantly though, the factory electronic valve cannot open and close progressively – it’s either open or shut, resulting in less than optimum throttle response and drivability.

The patented DV+ design has been proven since 2013, and is now available for the WRX. It solves ALL the shortcomings of the factory electronic diverter valve by replacing the plastic valve assembly with precision CNC machined metal components, and changes the operation method so it can open and close progressively whilst retaining electronic control.

This valve is ideal for those of you who are looking for a purely performance-oriented product. By retaining the factory ECU control and recirculating the vented air, the DV+ offers the following benefits:

• Sharper throttle response

• Faster boost recovery on gearshift

• Solves boost leaking issues

• Built to last
