    Hey man so I was wondering if you were experiencing oil leakage from the spacer ever since u installed it, i have and decided to go with a dv+ instead now which should come in a couple of days

    Do you think I can use my all Allen key folding set to unscrew the diverter? Or should I get an individual set

    Someone probably could answer better, but I’ve never been told that it won’t so I believe it would! Most sites, especially ECS will tell you if it’s manual or auto only and I don’t recall that designation on their DV spacer.

    It doesn’t matter which transmission you have, as it’s part of the turbocharger/intake system and not transmission. You’ll be OK. I do recommend getting a DV+ from GFB

    It's down to boost pressure and type of spacer/blow off valve. Spacer tends to woosh and blow off will flutter more.
