Default Installed Forge Valve and Grill - Got Pics!

ad it for a little while, finally Jeff and me were able to get together tonight and install it. Being we did it using the stock jack and a stabbilizer it took a while to take the DV clamps off.... and they broke a pair of dollar store scissors And probably broke Jeffs hand, haha[8D]

But we finally got those off, and got the forge valve in... we pulled out majority of the intake side so we could have clearance above and below, which worked out well. Did it during the night, so only had the garage lights and flash lights to work by.

Put er in though, turned her on and did a couple revs, I immediatly noticed a different sound. We got it out on the road and there was a distinct chatter/bov noise that filled our ears everytime I shifted or pushed on it hard and let off... I also felt better pull up high, I'm guess my stock valve was leaking and this one fixed that giving me more boost when I need it most. I think its a great product and very unique. Super happy with it, I recommend you all buy one. Hopefully that group buy takes off.

I will get you pictures tommarrow when I take some of the new grill, that arrives tommarrow so I figure I'll take out the camera and post it all up and make this some sorta Forge Valve/Ebay Grill thread!

Thanks for reading! Go out and purchase yourselfs a valve!

Ok, so I got the grilll today.. took my stock one off which refused to die... was told and have heard in the past I need to "BEND THE LATCH" well I go to do that, using force but going as slow as possible and the MOTHERF*CKER SNAPPED OFF? So where do I go from here... gonna super glue them back on.. I just don't see how I make this work this and I'm so pissed off[:@]

Any suggestions, thoughts? Did I do it wrong.. I was using pliars for the bend, kinda thought it was odd I was trying to bend PLASTIC, which isn't known for that ability[:@][:@][:'(]
