Just treated my 1.8T AUM to a Forge recirc valve....
Just to add that the car is standard(so i have been told) apart from a BMC carbon intake. You can really feel the pressure of the turbo winding up and the surge of power(like a power band) from the turbo and it sounds great, a slight whistle from the turbo spinning up, then when off the throttle, you can hear what i think is the wastegate chirp and the boost pressure being dumped....its sound pretty good!.
But....I've fitted the Forge recirc and all that is gone!. No surge of power, only a very slight whistle from the turbo and no noise at all when you let off the gas, the car even feels slower!!
Anyone?? :whistle:
P.s. It had the standard plastic DV before i fitted this.

To be honest, unless you're mapped or the standard dv was leaking I wouldn't have bothered changing it.
What colour spring did you fit? Should be green if your car is standard, yellow if mapped.

Green is fitted....Never listen to a mate then!!

Don't get me wrong, it won't do any harm, I just don't see the benefit unless you're planning on having it mapped soon.

Thanks for the info...
Got a stanless exhaust to put on but no plans for a re-map yet........!
Gonna put the plastic one back on i think.

I'd stick with the forge one now that you have it, then get yourself booked in at R-tech :wink:

I would put money on the old one being cracked/leaking boost

well, defiatly not cracked and if it was the leaking to atmosphere you wouldn't hear a thing over the engine.
It'll be as Dom69 said.......How much is a remap at R-Tech.

Did you buy the Forge007p new or used?
What piston is fitted to the Forge 007p?
If its the old style piston, there's a good chance its leaking boost.
I had the same issue, I have now rebuilt the 007p using the new design piston with the 'O' ring fitted to the bottom of it.

Upwards of £200 depending on what stage etc you want. It's all listed on their website.
