Never been proven on an RST that a D/V will help a turbo last longer. None of the race cars used d/v's..altho they did get meticulously maintained and serviced/ stripped down often.

There's a thread on this just about every week and I'm pretty sure it's widely perceived that unless you are running big power and big boost then you do not need a d/v fitted and will still have a mechanically-sound turbo with no problems.

I used to have one on my S2 and it ran with no problems at all. I removed it when I sold it..and again it ran exactly the same with no problems.
My S1 runs without one and has slightly more power and chatters a bit top end of boost. The S2 never. Both ran same MFI. some cars do, some don't.
