thats true raystang, i am only running stock boost, so i can get away with using the standard DV, im sure one day i will need to replace it, everyone likes boost!! lol
Just read the GTR thread regarding pigeoning, maybe i was just being paranoid, everyone seems to think removing the DV will not bugger a turbo, at least not a pretty standard engine with stock boost....
I suppose standard DV's are put in by Nissan because your average customer doesn't want to buy a car that chatters with lift off, pops or bangs! lol (well, one of the reasons anyway)
