Just bought a forge 008 FMDV008 Recirculation Valve

[lighters]

Ye I already have a forge 008 that I got for £90 with 3 shims and 2 springs with only 1 weeks use

I havent got any with the engine cover off, do you need it? Just had a full service, these are old pics - I know nothing about  cars

Completely missed the whole topic of this thread was that you'd bought a 008

Only asked for a pic to see where those blue hoses go to, hopefully down to the fpr

[lighters]

Dont have any but will be replacing that valve with the forge one so from what I can understand the hoses should be fine?

youre right, they are not standard pipes, I would still replace them though, it looks a little untidy.

Well i fitted the dump valve, initial impressions are massive disappointment. It's actually louder than the one I had on, sort of lower volume louder if you know what I mean.

It made absolutely zero difference to throttle response/less turbo lag, expected it to be atleast a little faster. just a different noise

What colour springs did it come with??

And what did you fit?

[lighters]

Yellow spring 2 shims it was prebuilt and also blue spring thats not in use the forge 008

You tried it without the shims? Was it prebuilt with a remap in mind?

[lighters]

Car has been remapped and I bought it on ebay with about 200miles use, it was already pre-assembled. Nope, surely it needs the shims (I havent a clue but they are included so can only assume)

[jamie16v]

take the shims aout and stick with the yellow spring.
a forge DV doesn't mean your car will go faster, it just means that its a strong reliable dv!.
