have i made a mistake? heard some bad reviews about the dv26??

DV26 is prone to causing stalling when changing gear and coming to a standstill. DV26 will also cause overfuelling on the FRS and can also cause a misfire on hard accelleration. Other probs are the piston sticking causing the dv not to release the air meaning that effectively the car is running without a dv causing turbo stalling.

I suffered from both in my ownership as i bought my car with a dv26 and going back to DV30 was the best decision i made - you'll also find the car performs better with a recirc dv

cheers mate

gutted wasted £100 anyone wanna buy a dv26?

Just my experience but have a read through some threads on the RSOC and there is similiar tbh - in fairness i think i had the worst case scenario of probs all at once which didnt help and others have really only suffered from the stalling and maybe misfire

see how it goes over a few weeks bud as i think the more mods you do to the car and up the power is also what makes the probs worse

But keep hold of your DV30 just incase you need it
