Hello, I'm currently looking for a GFB DV+ for my N26 2014 328i. Any recommendations?

Why? Do you want compressor surge to ruin your turbo? Not sure why this thing exists - the videos I've seen online are all BAD, damaging the turbocharger.

From what i've read, its only until the new spring breaks in and then the flutter goes away.

OP-

Been running the GFB DV+ for about 30k mikes. Zero issues other than install was a pain.

Make sure you buy from a reputable source. People who have problems are buying fake GFB that originate in China (unknowingly).

Go through a forum sponsor (like X-PH) and youll be fine.

Countless forums members running this. You'll definitely noticed increased throttle response and faster boost recovery on gear shift. Nice upgrade for under $150.

Eh - I would love to see datalogs to quantify the response/boost reaction. Unless your original stock one is failing/leaking, I can't imagine shaving any time or response off of an electronic solenoid that would impact something as dynamic as boost pressure in a charge pipe.

Yes, that's why Pure, VTT and other high performance dealers sell them as an add on to their equipment.....because they want the buyer of their $3k+ of turbo equipment to run worse and wear out under warranty so they can replace it for the customer
