They are a Forge Hybrid combo recirculation/blow off valve. Price should in the area of $130. thru $160. each.

OOOO

yo i have these things ... tell me how the hell i get them to sound like the utube video bc all i get is a loud whistle throughout like 1700-2500 rpms n then no blow off sound ... also my top end acceleration SUCKKKSSSS because i guess the boost is not retained ... i am going to tighten up the spring so it doesnt release as early and see if that helps but i really want the sound from the you tube video ... how???

Hey Joe,

Did they come with different springs? It sounds like the spring in the valve is not strong enough. APR was having the same problem with their R1 valve on the 2.7T engines. I saw some people take the R1 apart and replacing the spring with one of the Forge springs. The Forge springs are color coded for different boost rating.

My bro-in-law had the problem on his S4 with the R1. It was a constant whistling noise.

OOOO

hmm i did hear about a spring problem with the forge hybrid splitters ... how would i go about replacing the spring? or which spring should i get to replace it with ... im running k03s with the giac chip im guessing my boost is like 15psi??? dont have the gauge in yet ??

Joeski -> RE: how much are these (5/8/2008 8:03:00 AM)

I know that the springs are available on Forge's website. I believe it is a set of 3 or maybe 4. I think there is a technical section to be able to download instructions. If you believe you are pushing 15lbs of boost, I am certain that their springs will cover a range of boost, for example (15-20lbs of boost) and so on. I would check their site. I would think that you could take the DV apart like their 007.

OOOO

i talked to a guy at forge he said they didnt have spring kits lol... im gonna search the website now ... it is a fully servicable valve!

joetm -> RE: how much are these (5/8/2008 9:19:40 AM)

the link was not working but im pretty sure i found them they are 15 bucks so i bought 2 one for each splitter ... ill let u kno what happens ... is thier anything else available to make that whoosh sound besides the splitters


Joeski -> RE: how much are these (5/8/2008 11:25:33 AM)

 

I do not think there is anything else available. If you want the BOV, you purchased the right set! Lemme know how the springs work Joe!

Good Luck!

OOOO

joetm -> RE: how much are these (5/8/2008 6:47:42 PM)

springs wont work ... they arent for the splitter they are for all thier other valves hah figures ... im gonna see if i can do some fine tuning ... i talked to the guy again from forge and he said basically if im not getting the woosh sound then 1- im not running enough boost or 2-- i dont have the valve adjusted right when it releases the boost

with the giac chip i should be right around 15 pounds right??  I have a boost controller but im not screwing with it till i have my gaige in because thats askin for trouble

i guess ill do some adjusting on satuday

Hey Joe,

You might want to call GIAC or the shop that did your program install and find out where your boost will peak at and what it maintains (for example...my boost will peak at 20 but maintains around 15-16).  I have the APR program and was going to install a manual boost controller but APR said not to because their program controls the amount of boost and the boost controller would interfere causing poor performance. I am certainly not saying that your setup might be an issue, but it might not be idea just to check and see.

GIAC and APR are very similar so I would assume that you are maintaining 15-16lbs of boost! Check and see if they recommend a manual boost controller or not. It could be one effecting the other. Ask as many questions as you can. I do not believe that your problem is major, it sounds like minor adjustments to me!

Keep in touch bro!
