Just curious if anyone has installed one of these before.

I bought one cheap on a whim from someone who sold their car before ever installing it. I haven't been able to find anyone talking about upgrading the diverter valve on their 718. I upgraded the ones on my Cobb tuned Macan and the one on my APR tuned GTI. Yes, my Cayman is APR tuned.

I did, but not with the APR, I used a flat6 one, not the easiest install (tight fitment) but would do it again, boost seems to hold better in my opinion.
Are you happy with the APR tune? That’s my next step.

Thanks for the feedback. I have the Flat6 EVOMS ones in my Macan. I just wanted to confirm there were no immediate downsides.
I'm completely satisfied with the APR tune. Only thing that could make it better would be at home map switching but I have no plans on taking the car out of 93 octane range.

I would replace it if you have it. The stock valves are known to fail after some time once the power has been raised. I replaced both on my 911-I am sure they are the same valves.
