One critical aspect addressed by the VTA system is reliable boost holding. Despite advancements in the latest OEM diverter valves, performance trade-offs persist. Vehicle manufacturers relocate the diverter valve to the intercooler piping to mitigate heat-related failures, but this adjustment leads to increased boost leakage. The plastic OEM diverter valve piston often fails to seal on an uneven plastic seat. The VTA system overcomes this challenge by machining an integral piston seat into its body, ensuring a dependable seal even on irregular OEM seats.

Additionally, the VTA system enhances throttle response and boost recovery. Unlike OEM electronic diverter valves, which operate in a binary fashion—either open or shut—the VTA system employs GFB's patented "pilot actuation" system. This innovative mechanism allows the VTA's piston to open and close progressively, resulting in smoother power delivery during throttle modulation. The outcome is a marked improvement in throttle response, steering clear of the abrupt changes in power associated with binary-operated factory diverter valves.

Adhering to the triumph of the DV+ design philosophy, the VTA upholds the principle: "Keep what works, replace what doesn't." This entails preserving ECU control and retaining the factory diverter's solenoid, ensuring unparalleled response time without incurring the expense of solenoid replacement, a practice adopted by some other brands. This commitment to efficiency underscores the VTA's dedication to optimizing performance while minimizing costs for the user.
