Well I thought about getting it but I just bought the previous model off a member here for $65 shipped.
$65 is a tough to beat price I would’ve went the same route even if I was aware of the newer one.?..
The new one being nicer is based on the simplicity of installing the component.. but money in the pocket feels much better.

Hello,
I had seriously considered GFB’s DV+ diverter valve back when my 2020 Ranger was fairly new, but was taken aback by their use of machine screws instead of the factory coarse thread screws used to thread into the plastic housing. I had considered (and posted about) installing machine thread inserts or helicoils, but since the truck was new, I decided not to fix what wasn’t broken.
After finding this thread recently, and finding that GFB were actually supplying the correct screws, I decided to install this as a Preventative Maintenance Item as I now have 75,000 miles in my truck. I am not a performance oriented driver, so I cannot say that this a big improvement, but replacing plastic parts with precision built metal ones cannot be bad for longevity.
However I did notice a bit of engine hesitation following the install that I would contribute to the ECU learning over the 75,000 miles. After running through a number of drive cycles, this has smoothed out so much that I believe that I am feeling the actual improvement in turbo performance that GFB talks about regarding the designing of their DV+.

I have had mine on for a few weeks now with the livernoise 93 tune. All the hiccups I have had , that i blamed on transmission quirkiness , are gone. When in traffic , if i slowed down , then sped up, it would hesitate. If I was accelerating, then let of the gas to slow down a bit, and then got back on the gas, it would hesitate. Slowing down to make a u turn and then hitting the gas....hesitate.

Now that's all gone. So much so, that when I do slow down to make the u turn to get to my house I had to adjust my driving. Instead of hesitating, it just goes and the tires start to chirp a bit from the acceleration. To not look like an ass in front of all my neighbors I now have to slow it down.

There are still the occasional clunks and jerks here and there but no where near what it was. I'm for sure happy that I got one.

Have one on my 2021 that I got from another member.
All I know is that after install, I determined that the wooshing equated to massive gains in HP.
The louder the wooshing, the more HP was produced. When I really hit the pedal, like entering an X-way, it is almost uncontrollable.
This has been verified numerous times by my "Butt Dyno" :thumbsup:

I thought these things were non-wooshing.

Thank you, that's the same as stage 3. Still trying to decide if I need it.
I didn't "need" several of my upgrades. But I don't regret one, yet.
