Title: Recirc valve popped off - anyone else had this?
Post by: MoMartin on 20 October 2014, 19:47: 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

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

Post by: MoMartin on 21 October 2014, 14:02: 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

Post by: Dalo Harkin on 22 October 2014, 13:07: 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

Post by: MoMartin on 22 October 2014, 21:19: It's a k03 :sad:
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.

Post by: Dalo Harkin on 24 October 2014, 13:11: 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 :evil:

Post by: MoMartin on 24 October 2014, 17:02: 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)
Title: Re: Recirc valve popped off - anyone else had this?
Post by: Scott D on 24 October 2014, 17:05: 240-250 with those mods and a turbo with strong actuator :)

Post by: MoMartin on 24 October 2014, 17:25: christ! really? i'm not sure if i want to save up for a more powerful car or modify my current car
Title: Re: Recirc valve popped off - anyone else had this?
Post by: Scott D on 24 October 2014, 17:49: 240+ is enough to surprise a lot of faster cars :grin:

Post by: MoMartin on 24 October 2014, 18:01: Oh yeah i'm sure haha, my car as it sits still suprises people
Title: Re: Recirc valve popped off - anyone else had this?
Post by: Nino on 25 October 2014, 10:46: K03 Stage 2 can handle upto about 210ish and you should be running a Yellow spring.
Title: Re: Recirc valve popped off - anyone else had this?
Post by: MoMartin on 25 October 2014, 13:22: ah okay ill change that, are you sure thats right? because my cars a lot more responsive on green. And i think my actuator is knackered because r-tech couldn't get anymore out of it (boosting problems)
