Dont bother with a H its not worth finding out if it will work on your car or not, The H requests more boost and smooths it out but is prone to limp mode as i found out, J requests less but smooths out the boost, the OEM isnt smooth, and surges around 3200 but in that surge provides up to 1,4 bar ...

Public Service Announcement

For anyone interested in some info on the N75 valves, i can cofirm as of tonight that the "H" versions, does not work well with a standard Gti, it throws it into limp mode requesting too much boost from the map.

However, after J (more-bhp) remapped the car, the valve was fine with a really smooth ...
