Damned!!! :tongue:
A few of you may have noticed that I've been whinging like a little girl over the past month or so, due to some missing ponies under the bonnet!!
Well, I'm pretty sure (fingers crossed) that I may have now sorted it. The problem was with the vacuum hose that goes on the top part of the Forge DV. What happened, was that when my new KO3-S went on with the new SFS TIP, the TIP pushed up & stretched the vac. hose which was strangling the flow. I forgot to take a 'before' picture, but I've pulled the pipe down with my finger so you can see what was happening. (I also reversed my Forge as per advice from Midland VW):-

This was the finished article (**EDIT** With the new longer piece of silicon):-

I'm quite chuffed, actually - The old girl seems to be pulling how she should, again!! :cool: It's got the :evil: factor again!! :smiley:
The reverse DV makes a funny little 'ping' now, though!! :grin:
-
What is the purpose of reversing it?
-
Ah cool glad shes all sorted now :wink:
Top work! :afro:
Was it worth doing the upgrade now then?

Ivor the ping master

I can't remember, TBH!!! I think I'd need a masters in VAG engineering to comprehend what was said!! There was a lot of head nodding & 'uh-huh' coming from me, LOL :grin: Basically, he said it was better suited for my engine to run it the other way around?!

I'd say yes, it's a lot better (especially top end)....... BUT....... It's probably not worth replacing a perfectly good KO3-011, IMO. Sure, if your KO3 dies, & you haven't got £2-3k for a mahoosive turbo, then do it. :afro:

Thing is, though, is it the reverse DV that's sorted it, or is it the vac hose?? Don't want to try the DV the other way around in case I disrupt things!!!

That'd just be asking for trouble! I've enough to get fixed on the car as it is, without ruining my dv/turbo :shocked:

Yeah, think I may give it a few weeks first.
I need a few CTR's on the way to/way back from work to smoke compare against!! :grin:

If the vac hose was kinked like that, i'd say the new pipe solved the problem and not the dv reversal.. but that won't do it any harm either way. I think i need to get busy with photoshop to draw some diagrams to help explain how the dv works and what reversing it does :lipsrsealed: .. could take some time.

add that info to the 'invisable sticky' on DV's :lipsrsealed:
