What this is
The GFB DVX T9661 diverter valve. It replaces the upper section of the factory valve and keeps ECU control: the factory solenoid still triggers it on throttle lift-off. GFB's patented venting bias adjustment sets how much air recirculates and how much vents to atmosphere, so you choose how loud it is.
Features
- Venting bias lever: towards the front of the car is louder (atmosphere), towards the engine is quieter (recirculation)
- Spring pre-load screw sets how easily it blows off; it does not need changing for boost level
- Made in Australia
Options
- Add Pierburg BOV Solenoid: No ships the T9661 kit only. Yes adds a Pierburg BOV solenoid.
What is in the box
DVX valve, two O-rings (BS021 and BS036, fitted), three M6 x 35 screws and a silicone vacuum hose.
Installation
The front bumper comes off to reach the factory valve. The DVX bolts onto the factory valve's lower section, and the supplied hose runs from the factory solenoid to the DVX. GFB recommends fitting by a qualified mechanic; see the GFB T9661 instructions. GFB states the valve is intended for racing use; check the noise and emissions rules where you drive.
Warranty
GFB: one year from purchase, limited to repair or replacement when used as intended.
FAQ
Why does it vent at odd times?
The ECU opens it based on how fast the throttle closes; at low boost it may not open at all. GFB says this is normal.
Does venting to atmosphere affect the ECU?
GFB notes the Veloster has no airflow meter, so the ECU is not affected.
Has it been fitted to other cars?
Owners report it works on a 2021 Kia Seltos SX Turbo, recirculated or vented.
