speed tunning chip expierience
Got chipped a couple of weeks ago (REVO), and bought my Forge 007 at about the same time. Didn't get around to installing the 007 until today. Pretty easy... took me a little over an hour. Then, took it for a test drive. It works much better than the stock one. I chose Forge, cause you can take it apart, re-grease it if needed, and change the springs around. For those of you who have questions about the different Forge springs, and are too lazy to search,here's the info that I got from Patty by searching:
green = stock
yellow = 15-23 psi (90% of chipped cars will use this)
blue = 23-30 psi
red = 30+ psi
green = stock
yellow = 15-23 psi (90% of chipped cars will use this)
blue = 23-30 psi
red = 30+ psi
And the kit does NOT include the red spring. If you buy the Forge 007 from ECS Tuning, it will come with: the green spring installed, 2 spacers, a yellow spring, and a blue spring. It took me only 15 minutes to install, and no noticeable flapping or any other problems with using the yellow spring and no chip yet.

Its been discontinued. The 007 is a piston valve, the DVR is a diaphragm based unit. We recommend that particular valve to be installed with boost entering the bottom port...

HELP?
I had basically the same codes a couple months ago (mis on 2 cylinders, idle low, etc.) The tech at my shop said was due to bad packs changed all 4 (if 1 or 2 are gone 3&4 are likely to follow)and have had no problems since. He saidthe idle & O2 codes are often triggered by the misfires. He suggested we just changed the packs and if the O2 code came back we would go from there.

he is right, re-set your ecu and see if anything comes back. If you have the misfire code again (or flashing cel) you will most likely have to replace the coilpacks.
if no codes come back, then you are free and clear my friend
