i have a forge 007 and it came with 3 springs. one already inside the dv (im guewssing stock setting) and a yellow one and a blue one. plus the 2 plates.

Ok so my question is.. what is the difference between the springs and how do i know which one to use? Currently i just slapped it in as it came. but im just curious since i have them lying around and im slowly putting more power into my car.
i tried emailing forge .. no reply [&:](bastards lol.... but they are forgiven)


thanks in advance.

 

ehh, something like green for stock, maybe with a shim, and 2 shims with the green when chipped, possibly leading into the yellow one. Blue one is for crazy pressure, you'll probably need that. Think thats up into the 30+psi boost range.

Kinda hard to say exactly how to gauge it, guess its by feel? I never figured that much out, I just went by what I was told. I know its probably better to have too light of a spring, your DV will open and bleed boost early, but if you go too hard, then it won't open and bleed, and that compressed air will rush back against the turbo when you lift off the throttle, which is hell on the blades.

 

green stock, yellow (maybe a shim) when chipped and blue if your nuts and run tons of psi.

 

ok im running GIAC, modshack VTDA, ****, 4 bar fpr. .. so i will be using the yellow spring 4 sure .. should i use a shim? remember 180TT quattro. i wanna make sure i donnot damage anything. and also boost machine is on the way pending where i get a boost gague

 

start with yellow and if need be, shim it. Not always needed

 

green = 5psi - 14psi
yellow = 15psi - 20psi
blue = 20psi - 29psi
red = 30+ psi

 

Ok i am going to swap out the spring today, but i need to buy some Lube for my spring and valve (oh that sounded DurTTy [:-]lol)

I remember seeing something about Mobil -1 high temperature grease?Is there anything else that i can use or do i need a specific tyupe of lube?

 

^ KY works the best

 

anygrease should be fine

 

lmao KY.... its supposed to be heat resistant not heat generating :P
