I'm surprised that you're seeing 525 hp consistantly with stock DVs. I'm at about the same hp numbers and I was having issues with the stock DVs bleeding. Switched out to billets and have never had an issue since.
Once you're running anything over 0.8 bar boost, upgraded DVs and F-hose are almost a mandatory supporting mod.
Its a relatively cheap mod that will give you great piece of mind. Get it done!
The install can be a PITA as it's pretty tight in there, but you'll figure it out as most of us have.

What do you mean I'll get "great piece of mind" from diverter valves?

HI,I ran for a long time 1.1 bars on my original 1st mod,GIAC tune,with no DV problems...But later I did change the DVs which is a piece of mind because they do fail ...But now I have had 1.3 to 1.4 spikes with my K24/18 set-up and I still have a factory F hose,as do some that I know at this level,with no problems.....But I guess that has alot to do with the install of the DVs and making sure the clamps are on right and tight.....

As many others here have stated, with an X50 car, just a flash and a good exhaust will knock out most of the lag. The upper end really pulls hard with the K24s where the K16s run out of breath a bit more at the top end.
That being said, if you're buying a turbo 996, it's hard to lose no matter what you end up with.

BTW if you haven't found an independant shop there, talk to Randy and Todd at Autobahn Premier service. They are great mechs and awesome guys to deal with.
