I've had the DV+ on my car for almost a week now and thought I'd post impressions.
Since I drive a manual this seemed like a really nice part to add. I don't know if it's as valuable to automatic equipped cars, but for a manual there is a lot of boost drop during a shift.
The install was extremely easy. It took me around 15 minutes. It comes well packaged and the instructions are easy to follow. The hardest part was getting the stock valve out of the housing. My little hands couldn't get enough grip, so I used pliers to pop it out. I used an allen wrench for the screws. People with big hands might want something different.
As for driving, it made a nice difference. There used to be a little hesitation when pushing the gas to accelerate. That is gone now. It wasn't something that was very noticeable, but more of a 'didn't notice it till it was gone' type of thing.
The big difference, though, is in accelerating after a shift. The car feels 'stronger' than before. Like it's more eager to accelerate. It's not night and day, but it's a definite difference and makes the car more enjoyable to drive.
I would abosolutely recommend this to anyone with a manual wanting just a touch more oomph after a shift. As I said before, I don't know how much of a difference it would make for an automatic.
