Installing a FORGE Diverter valve

[gpk_gti]

Get your after market dv from ebay ( http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQ...assZfirefly051 )or local shop,

dump you old stock dv or bodgy turboxs dv,

use some pliers to remove this clamp on larger pipe,

screw driver for smaller pipe,

use a small flat screw driver to wedge this clamp off on top,ditch it afterwards and replace with a normal type clamp.

Did you get your different springs as well? Im sure you've done your research and realise each spring is for a different amount of boost?? check forgemotorsport.co.uk and next time let us know as i can do a better price including the 3 spring kit too. Also you should install it in reverse as well.

and the mk4 how-to/faq section http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1835863 for more installs and what not

as reversing as i said


forge tip review as ive noticed you havent done one yet, probably should be on your plate with apparent output you have.....

http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/thread/404459.aspx

alternatively you can also get a Go Fast Bits Plumback, Go Fast Bits Hybrid (sound), Go Fast Bits Stealth FX (adjustable for more sound) which apparently are better as you have to service the Forge one fairly often so ive heard lately.

www.inmotive.com.au sell forge, go fast bit diverters.. go fast bits dv's actually make a bit more noise in comparison to the forge so ive noticed when ive used both.

as well if you had a CAI expect both or any that you use to sound like a BOV (which it does on the black gti thru the aem intake, will also post wav's of that in days to come)

same deal .. got that silicone hose to lol

waiting for my boost hose kit to arrive, and my coolant hose kit next month when i order it.. wanna share some $$ for it?! lol just did the tip not long ago, major difference on top end.

No pics, car is being detailed and ready for sale! So no more mods for her.

The blue hoses are just for look i think... but it does look sporty inside the otherwise black engine!

your selling? eek how come?

[BLKMJC]

eeek yeh! will miss it, lots of fun... going OS end of year so will have to sell it in a few months, but had some gearbox problems which cost me a lot... so sick of it and letting it go quicker.

I have the GFB plumback and it still makes quite a bit of a blowoff valve sound on lift.... can be heard far away... i can only imagine if it was open or 50/50 !

i installed my turbosmart both ways and it didnt make a difference or any sound diference? is it supposed to make a difference?

[fuzion]

the tsmart ones leak so not really, reverse its a bit louder and apparently so ive been told a/market ones u shoudl have it in reverse.

[h100vw]

Also you should install it in reverse as well.

What are the benefits of doing that? I can't see any, it doesn't fit as well and pressurised air is on the side of the piston and can't leak past when fitted as stock anyway.

beats me, its apparent when any a/market dvs to be installed in reverse so ive been told by Forge Direct, GFB and other suppliers as well.

its fits exactly the same, otherwise theres something not right there? both gtis we have are fitted reverse..

conversation with FORGE reseller in the states,and owns a really quick 1.8t jetta,
qoute----
gpk says:
have u heard of ppl puting their diverter valve back to front?
says:
reversing the DV
says:
yeah
gpk says:
wat does that do?
says:
they think its got a better sound.....
says:
and better response
says:
....yeah, OK
Gpk says:
u believe this?
says:
if it did
says:
then why wouldnt the manufacture do this from the start?
gpk says:
exactly

says:
Because the Forge 007 is just a souped up version of the origninal BOSCH
well thats my philosophy as well,If it was meant to go in reverse why didnt the manufacturer specify that on the their website and in the box?

everyone has the right to decide exactly how they do things with their car.you want to put your gearbox back to front or install 4 intercoolers or whatever ,its your choice.
