The DV is served for the turbo.
However, if a bad quality DV is used, will the engine get damage?
Or only the turbo will

Well for the USA version of the 1.4 motor, we have temporarily agreed that the motor does not have a DV. But based on a standard turbo system if the DV is not set correctly, too much boost will rupture everything.

Thanks for your reply.
Why i asked this question becoz one yr before, i hv changed my dv (noisy sound) and walked for 5 to 10km for testing.
It is fine and smooth. One day later, i took out one spark plug to check and put it back without doing anything.
However after i run for 2km, the engine light is flashing. Engine was shaking.
Finally, the error code showed that 1,2,4 misfire. And i hv to change the whole engine.
Thats why i am not sure the dv or the spark plug damage the engine

I found this link to some valve information:

http://www.ssch.com.au/trade-news/a-basic-guide-to-engine-valve-failure/

So based on that link, it sounds like you had burnt valves. So we can possibly say that the low quality DV cause an issue with the boost which caused the poor air/fuel mixture resulting in burnt valves. I may be wrong but this is kind of what I am gathering from this site.
