Ive just bought a LCR with a turbosmart dv already installed. I've always had diesels previously and have no experience what so ever. Should the dv be set to hard or soft? At the moment I think it's more on the soft side as it goes off everytime I lift my foot off the accelerator. Whether it be me flooring it or just popping round to the shop it will go off lol..

Any help will be great.

hi mate, you will find that the more you tighten to hard the spring inside the d/v tightens and youll get less noise. i have mine set so it only really makes noise when i boot it :D

Depends really on how your car behaves.

With mine I have it on soft as it seems to drive best this way. Sounds good too on this setting with coldside kit
