Forge Recirc Valve Installation
Posted: Fri May 25, 2018 1:48 pm
So having had repeated issues with the OEM DV valves, fluttering boost levels, big thuds when coming off WOT quickly etc. I decided it was time to f**k the OEMs off and get a pair of Forge DVs fitted. Knowing that its part of the airbox assembly a bit if fecking about was required but now its complete the car is amazing, back to smooth part/full throttle runs and power feels nice and progressive, have even got a bit of a woosh when letting off throttle when under boost 
Should be able to do this in the best part of a long afternoon;
New Parts List
2x FMDV008 Valves https://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Turbo ... --756.html
2x Gorilla Glue - https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Adhesi ... lue/p94548
1x 800 grit sandpaper
Process
1 - remove top silver pipe arms
2 - remove airboxes (carfeully disconnecting the vacline and boost line going to existing DV)
3 - slice off the existing DV off the bottom of the airbox with a hacksaw
4 - sand down the port of the hole you just revealed with 800 grit to give the gorilla glue something to key onto
5 - change the spring in the forge DV depending on the boost range you are running, i've gone for the yellow spring as running stage2 MRC setup. https://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Valve ... --826.html
6 - stuff the forge DV into the bottom of the airbox to test fit then remove
7 - get setup with the gorilla glue, covering the inside of the port (don't forget the glue expands to make a snug fit!)
8 - stuff the DV back in, getting the intake port of the DV the correct orientation so the boost pipe reconnects ok and let the glue cure
9 - plumb it all back together, make sure the vac pipe fits well onto the forge DV and go for a spin!
