Nice upgrade at a reasonable price!

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this part. The workmanship was top notch, the mating parts fit together seamlessly and the build quality appears to be high. It is easy to install, although there is little space to work on my Audi A4 B6. I made sure to install this valve backwards as instructed in the instructions. Test drive the car after installation. The car seemed to pull a little harder at higher rpm, indicating a better internal seal than the stock valve. I cut open my old…

Pros
  • Now includes a free recovery kit! The valve fits other turbocharged engines with 25mm inlet and outlet such as Saab, Polaris RZR XP Turbo
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Satisfied but slightly disappointed

Received this DV yesterday, love the new international shipping options from Revain. The valve itself looks fine. But the springs look old, the paint is cracking everywhere, the quality of the paint is terrible as far as I can tell. Looking at the springs I would have thought it was used. However, the valve itself and the rest of the packaging is decent. Manufacturer's tip: Spending a little more money for a decent spring paint job sucks.

Pros
  • Compatible with all 1998-2005 Volkswagen and Audi turbocharged 1.8t and 2.7t engines.
Cons
  • Write back

Installed same alignment as OEM worked fine for me.

I bought this for a 2003 Passat (B5.5) 1.8T to replace the factory valve. The only update I have is the GIAC software update for October 91st. Before installing I sprayed at 22psi and came down from there. I was told to replace the OEM due to possible and impending failure. After research, it looked like a good replacement, like other top brand models. I first installed it as recommended by RKX which is the opposite of OEM. I installed a red spring with two washers. I found the boost to work…

Pros
  • Genuine precision machined RKX wastegate valve
Cons
  • Low repairability
