Power loss, boost leaks, and fault codes are recurring issues that have become synonymous with diverter valve failure on 1.8T and 2.0T Gen3 engines. The OEM diverter valve utilizes failure-prone plastic for external construction, resulting in potential cracks and leaks in the valve's body. Compounded with a weak internal diaphragm susceptible to tears, the factory diverter valve poses an increased risk of failure for both modified and stock engines.
For enthusiasts in search of a permanent diverter valve solution, look no further than the ECS Tuning Gen3 Diverter Valve upgrade. Featuring machined 6061 billet aluminium construction, high-temperature Viton o-rings, and a diaphragm-less internal piston and spring design, our diverter valve is the ultimate upgrade in performance and durability. Unlike aftermarket vent-to-atmosphere style diverter valves, our piece is designed to fully recirculate boost for transient throttle response and reduced turbocharger lag. Utilizing billet aluminium construction for the valve's exterior eliminates the potential for cracking in the external body, exponentially increasing durability over factory plastic construction. Most importantly, eliminating the OE-style diaphragm design safeguards this valve against failure at stock or increased boost levels.
