Recirc valve popped off - anyone else had this?

[MoMartin]

I have the forge 007p, and today I took my car out for a drive and noticed that it was a lot louder than normal, after quick inspection I noticed it had completely blown itself out of the tip, I'm sure that the clip holding it in was pretty tight, but I can't be 100 percent sure. I'm running a k03 on an aggressive stage 2 r tech map so it might be over boosting also I'm running the green spring on the 007p (seemed the most responsive - but it was also  very hot when I checked so I might need to change it to a stronger one?)

Thanks, Mo

make sure the clip is tight.  it shouldnt pop off.

Ha that's what I was thinking... I mean how much air is recirculated to the point where it actually blows out haha

How much boost you running?

[MoMartin]

No idea really, whatever the k03 could handle I think, I'm on 190 to 198 bhp if that helps you tell how much I might be on

[Dalo Harkin]

probably around 1 BAR, is it a K03 or a K03s because a stage 2 I would think is a K03s but around the 190-200BHP is a stage 1 K03

[MoMartin]

It's a k03 
I remapped it before I knew much about these cars, only to find it had the smaller turbo. To add to that, all the mods on it were done before I bought the car which is annoying  because they spent all the money in places that don't harness much power
And it's stage 2 because it's got a decat, fmic, pipercross filter and the forge 007p.

ah ok, stage 2 refers to the map on it.

With all those mods and the FMIC, just get a K03s on it and get it mapped 

[MoMartin]

I wish i could haha, its just the money required to be honest, i think if i do upgrade to a k03s ill get the oversized tip, maf  and change the injectors too, because they max out at about 220 (i think)

240-250 with those mods and a turbo with strong actuator
