By combining the proven performance benefits of our ground-breaking DV+ with atmosphere venting, the VTA delivers an aggressive blow-off sound, improved throttle response and boost recovery, as well as superior boost holding and reliability in extreme conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VTA shares the successful DV+ design philosophy:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Keep what works, replace what doesn’t”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis means we retain ECU control and the solenoid from the factory diverter to ensure the fastest possible response time, without the added and unnecessary cost of replacing the solenoid like some brands do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weak part of the factory diverter has always been the plastic valve mechanism – this is the part we replace. The VTA features CNC machined billet components that last a lifetime, and we also change the valve operation method for better performance. The factory diverter valve can only operate in two states – open, or closed. When it opens fully at low boost, or during a partial throttle lift mid-corner, it causes increased lag and a noticeably non-linear boost transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGFB pioneered the use of “pilot operation” in the DV+, which works by re-purposing the factory solenoid to control the pressure behind the piston rather than the piston itself. This allows the solenoid stroke to be much shorter, speeding up the response time and increasing the actuation force. More importantly, it allows the piston to open and close progressively in response to the amount of boost pressure present, which smooths boost transitions and reduces the lag caused by the factory diverter valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is this design philosophy that makes the VTA not only the best performing blow off valve solution, but also the best value on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTMS Technology for faster boost recovery on gearshift and during throttle modulation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImproved boost holding ability\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtmosphere venting for blow-off sound\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRetains ECU control\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimple, direct bolt-on kits include everything you need to install\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured in Australia in accordance with ISO 9001\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVTA or DV+?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepends if you want sound or not. Both valves are constructed with the same quality materials and valve mechanism, and both offer the same performance and reliability benefits. However, the VTA vents to atmosphere for sound whilst the DV+ recirculates the air to keep it quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy choose a VTA over a “BOV spacer”?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“BOV spacers” are cheap and they make sound. But that’s it. All the inherent performance and reliability issues you get with the factory diverter valve remain, because a spacer doesn’t change the diverter valve in any way. The VTA improves the operation of the diverter valve for sound AND performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy choose a VTA over a kit that includes a solenoid?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause there’s no performance benefit to replacing the factory solenoid, only a much higher price! If a VTA with the factory solenoid can open in a couple of hundredths of a second, why pay more than you need to?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVehicle Applications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVTA T9488 Suitable for Mercedes models also suits:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ S-Class S400 Note : Two Valves Required\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ E-Class W213 E200\/E250\/E300 (2016-2019) Note : M270\/M274 ENGINES ONLY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ E-Class W213 E200\/E250\/E300 (2016-2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ C-Class C180\/C200\/C250\/C300 Turbo (Not Kompressor) 2011-2018\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ GLC 200\/250\/300 (2015 – 2021)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ GLA-Class X156 GLA180\/GLA200\/GLA220\/GLA250 (2014-2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ E-Class W212 E200\/E250 (2009-2016)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ A-Class W176 A180\/A200\/A250 Turbo (2012-2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ A45 AMG (Facelift Models Only) (2015 – 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ CLA45 AMG (Facelift Models Only) 2016 – 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ B-Class W246 B180\/B200\/B220\/B250 (2011-2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ CLA-Class C117 CLA180\/CLA200\/CLA220\/CLA250 (2013-2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ SLK 200\/250 (R172)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ CLA-Class C118 CLA180\/CLA200\/CLA250e 1.3T (2019-On)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ A-Class W177 A160\/A180\/A200\/A250e 1.3T (2018-On)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ GLB-Class X247 GLB180\/GLB200 (2018-On)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ B- Class W247 B160\/B180\/B200\/B250e (2018-On)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ C63 \u0026amp; C63 S AMG 4.0TT (2016-On) Two Valves Required\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ S63 AMG 4.0TT (2018-2020) Two Valves Required\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ GLC63 \u0026amp; GLC63 S AMG 4.0TT (2018-On) Two Valves Required\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ E63 \u0026amp; E63 S AMG 4.0TT (2018-On) Two Valves Required\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ G63 AMG 4.0TT (2018-On) Two Valves Required\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ C-Class C300 2.0T (2019-On)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ AMG GT 4.0TT (2019-On) Two Valves Required\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ GLC43 AMG 3.0TT (2019-On) Two Valves Required\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMERCEDES-BENZ CLA35 AMG 2.0T (2020-On)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e T9488\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GFB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54980625924309,"sku":"T9488","price":4450.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/9196\/2837\/files\/1700615940_T9488_5_web.jpg?v=1789832144","url":"https:\/\/montigenix.co.za\/products\/gfb-vta-mercedes-benz-a45-amg-facelift-models-only-2015-2018","provider":"MONTIGENIX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
