Fitted a forge 007p but my car doesnt seem to have as much poke as it did with standard black one. Any ideas? thanks in advance.

Put a new silicone pipe on the top of valve, couldnt see any split pipes.

Checked for leaks next to Valve but nothing noticeable. Did notice a hole in exhaust though, Could that make a difference?

Is it mapped? What spring is in there if one at all?  :laugh:

Just looked for splits in the hoses i was working next too. Ill double check the clips tonight. Yes its mapped, got a green spring in. Seems to be lacking in torque more than anything.

Try a yellow spring. Mine held boost better when I went from green to yellow.

Just a bit weird you say it happened after you fitted the 007p. So fingers pointing to that area.
