How and Why to Upgrade Your Porsche Turbo Diverter Valves

[@tonyimbarrato5325]

Thanks for the video very informative. I have a 2016 turbo Cayenne. And I think my diverter valves are at the throttle body. I’ve posted several pictures compared to other cayenne and nobody seems to recognize my set up and I know it is a factory set up. Any additional info will help. I’ll see if I can attach a picture.

2014/2015 3.6turbo model same issue?

[@jaxonyost1467]

hey i have a 2015 Macan s so the 3.0L and I'm wondering if divertor valves can damage either the motor or the turbo. also for the 2015 is the install similar with having the access panel underneath.

[@vivid_racing]

No diverter valves cannot damage the motor or turbo at all.

[@MrGuilhermegouvea]

Hello, I have a 997.2 turbo and I have a problem. When I accelerate half the throttle I hear sneak noise ... Could it be the diverter valve? Another thing that happens is the car does not rise turbo pressure. When that happens, I have to turn off the car and turn on again. Have you seen anything like this? Thank you very much.

[@vivid_racing]

Sounds like a boost issue. It could be the diverter valve or could be a boost leak from one of the boost hoses.

Is macan ECU tuned?

[@stevengraham3138]

Would these fit my 2016 macan s?

[@vivid_racing]

These valves work on the 996TT, 997.2TT, 991TT, Cayenne Turbo 955 957 958, Panamera Turbo, Macan S GTS Turbo!

[@theprofessionaldillweed6235]

Would this fit the 3.0L macan S?

[@vivid_racing]

Yes it’s the same engine

[@louieluk2426]

Hello I have a 2015 Macan S with ECU tuned and it has the same issue. I would like to buy these Diverter Valves but not able to see that available on your website. Can you please show me where to order? Do I need 2 of these? Thank you!

Hi there I’ve just bought a 2009 Cayenne Turbo and looking to upgrade the power. These look a good start with a tune. Any suggestions from you guys. Thanks.

[@vivid_racing]

Our VR Tuned ECU Flash is the best way to go. The diverter valves help keep the boost responsive same as this. Catback exhaust is nice too - www.vividracing.com/tuned-ecu-flash-tune-porsche-957-cayenne-turbo-48l-dfi-0810-p-150773655.html

[@djsin5254]

Can I put one on my macan base?

[@vivid_racing]

The 2.0t should have 1

[@evo18]

Would it have been easier if the front bumper was taken off?

[@vivid_racing]

A lot harder

[@cbrooks2767]

I replaced mine by removing the bumper cover and yes, it frees up a lot more ways to get at them. Makes them much easier to see inside there to know what to do. Doing it from underneath requires you to do a lot of it by feel and if you haven’t done it before I think you’d be really frustrated.

[@Eidrian111]

Why they’d don’t work in 997.1 turbo?

[@vivid_racing]

997 Turbo uses boost recirculating valves aka BRVs.

[@Eidrian111]

@@vivid_racing oh I didn’t knew that. Are they worse than diverter valves?

[@vivid_racing]

@@Eidrian111 They install directly on the turbos. www.vividracing.com/agency-power-boost-recirculation-valves-porsche-997-turbo-gt2-393357970891-p-153837182.html

@@vivid_racing thank you for your response. You’ve made me less ignorant. I will definitely be buying for my CTT

[@tanahiro26]

is this comes for 2017 panamera?

[@vivid_racing]

It fits the 2016 models, but we have not confirmed fitment on the 2017 model, unfortunately.

[@TeslaOG]

What wheels/style/sizes front and rear are those? Thanks

[@vivid_racing]

The wheels are Vorsteiner V-FF 103 Flow Forged, not sure on the sizing! You can check out the options here: www.vividracing.com/vff-103-c-9736.html

[@obdtec6446]

U should do proper before test as i can see how u creating a problem playing with the throttle making the diverter valves look bad promoting to sell new ones

[@arandomthoughttoday]

Any options for an atmospheric diverter valve?

[@vivid_racing]

You could plug the return hose and let it vent atmosphere

[@RubenSegura]

Vivid Racing would that decrease power? Or creates problems?

[@vivid_racing]

@@RubenSegura You can probably run vent to atmosphere as these dont have MAFs like the older 996TT so should be a problem.

[@TheG985]

Dude no way. I have white 2013 turbo. I’d love to start modding it and I was thinking you could divert out bc no maf!

[@shaslyrr1]

do GTSs have turbo??

[@HowdySBC]

I believe all Macans are Turbo in-fact if not in name.

[@kyungwoolee9301]

Thank you. It was an easy video with Korean translation. I'll give it a try.^^

[@vivid_racing]

Awesome thanks for watching!

[@switlikbob1]

Did you "zip tie" those new diverter valves in place?

[@vivid_racing]

Bob Neary I believe I used the stock hose clamps. Space is so tight that when connected to both hoses they don’t move.

[@donovanwilliams16]

Did this fix the issue shown in video at 00:40? You don't really show partial throttle after only WOT. Do you think this is what is causing this issue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGO8iauBeq14l68 ?

[@vivid_racing]

It does fix the modulating boost under partial throttle.

[@donovanwilliams16]

@@vivid_racing did you watch the video I posted? Mine happens at 80-90 throttle as per video and sometimes at wot

[@vivid_racing]

I did, diverter valves should fix that issue due to the spring in the stock valves most likely being worn.

[@camryds]

ok I would say that this fails in the "how" but more of a success on why. every video on any instructions leave out the most important part -- actually how to remove.... so bad.

[@Gilbertll]

The factory installed spring works for most applications.... are you serious??! This is a compleyely nontechnical video, it is misleading and fails to explain the purpose of the diverter valve and more importantly it fails to explain down side of installing a diverter valve that does not open when it should (under vacuum). Worst of all you fail to mention the spring rates and how to know or teach yourself which is proper for the specific application. For only $250 you can destroy your turbo because bubba recommends the swap.

[@vivid_racing]

Thx for your view

[@kinglarry1240]

Believe or not, when i swapped oem with forge diverter, i found waters in the oem diverter. Lucky i got the hybrid version. Never seem 15 on sport mode with oem! Best mod if u really know bout ur own car!

[@ikaikaboo]

What you recommend for getting the spring rate correct? I see the Flat6 motorsports diverter only has a single spring offering...thanks

[@kinglarry1240]

i went for ebay rxk hybrid 2 for $120, no different than flat6 and others!
