Forge DVs Question

Wanted to know if it would be a worth-while purchase to buy some Forge DVs with 2 sets of springs for under $200. I feel like car (MT) doesnt hold boost that well between shifts (not a fact, just my feeling), and have read that aftermarket DVs will help with that on MT cars especially... Im taking my car to the dealership this week for a LPFP replacement. Do you think it would be awkward for me to ask them to check my boost pressure and make sure i have no boost leaks anywhere?

Also, switching to aftermarket DVs wont cause an issue on 29.2 cars or trigger any detection or other codes will they?

Or other option...save up and buy something else

The DV will not cause code errors.

Once you take out the Oem stock ones and actually look at it, you will see how cheaply made the DVs are compared to the Forge DVs....The OEM ones look like they are made from a 99 cent store!! They work just as good for AT cars and not only for MT...
