[s-cars] diverter valve

[Cody Forbes]

Steve I sell these things often and keep a half dozen on the shelf, they are pretty nice. Run one on our S3 race car and the only failure was when the car went almost perfectly diverter first into the wall at Road Atlanta ;-). Should fit on an AAN, I can measure it up if you want.

FYI, the 2.0t doesn't use a standard diverter - they are electrically operated instead of vacuum and bolt directly to the turbo compressor housing.
