Default DV?

I'm not doubting you my hero I am just looking to see if it could be anything else!

Ok tonight it felt like if i were to race a Geo Metro I would be spanked! Open the hood gas a lil' throttle and got revvvvvvvvv rumble rumble rumble like a crappy bov. Devil said probably DV. What ware the best ways to test a DV? What replacement do you recommend? Could this be the cause of my throttle issues?!

Here's a video hard to hear but listen after the rev, you'll hear woa, woa, woa, sound.... the red glowing shade is muh bo

are you holding boost like you should be? assuming you have a boost gauge.

I don't have one I haven't found a mounting set up I like... The car doesn't feel like it's boosting, it's a slug.

dude, do you have a 1.9l diesel, like seriously.... that motor or camera sounds like ****

if you think your dv is shot, just get a 710n or i might know a guy selling an aftermarket.. not sure of the price.... but if it is feeling sluggish it is probably vac leak of some sort

Little of both, mainly the video I was trying to find the bet way for you to be able to hear the sound!
