WOT SPRING IN THE FORGE 007
« on: 17 May 2008, 11:39 »
i found that my forge valve was leaking wen i checked the o-ring and saw i had a green spring in there which forge say is to be the weakest spring, i had a revo remap so should i have the next spring up or is the green still ok, wot av you boys got in yours.

i was running the green spring but found i was loosing boost under heavy load . told forge and they sent me a yellow spring which i think holds alot better .

forge will advise you also to but the dumpvalve in reverse position as this can also work better

they sent it free for me . basically to put it in reverse the big pipe that is down facing is turn clock wise and inserted to the pipe on the left and visa versa . foget what i just said , you would be better off finding a guide but its very easy to do  :huh:
