You are 100% correct, the only people claiming that the OEM valve leaks are people selling you the valve and people who have bought it. Also, no tune or reasonably sized turbo really increases the pressure enough to worry about the OEM part. In my case it turned out to be an ill-seated clamp on the intercooler hot side.I've had 2 VAG cars with 2.0tfsi motors and it wasn't uncommon to have a blown diaphragm, but I haven't seen one mention of an OEM diverter valve on an ecoboost mustang not holding up. I've seen several mustang owners with this "upgrade", but what benefit are the guys with stock turbos actually seeing from this? Like actually seeing, not being told what you should see by the company selling them lol
But, some people will still worry and at least the DV+ offers complete OEM functionality with the electric control, it uses the OEM valve seat and tubing and it retains recirculation functionality instead of venting to atmosphere. All that in a more robust construction with metal wear parts. So, if someone feels the need to improve on what they perceive to be a weak point I'd rather see them take this approach than trying to redesign a multimillion dollar design with off-the-shelf parts sold on hype and (my opinion) juvenile, boy-racer noises.
