let us know how it performs if you do go ahead, I'm in two minds as I've read a few write ups that rate the standard valve at the same level as the forge...who know... :undecided:

Huh, are you serious?

The OEM valves are well known to be weak points.

Forge stuff is equally well known to be supremely top-notch stuff.

Most of us who have already fitted the Forge DV have done so as a precautionary measure because the stock DV is known to be potentially a weak link, especially on a remapped car with higher boost levels/demands.

Yeah I read a detailed write up (link was posted on here somewhere), where a fella had tested both in depth against each other and found no real benefit to the forge valve, although I can't really remember if he was just testing the performance improvement, and not the reliability  :undecided:.  Personally I wouldn't know either way but I'm yet to be convinced its worth while.  Besides I believe a stock DV is cheap to replace if it does go...?
