Im very close to buying 1 at the mo and i was thinking of getting it shimmed, i would like to know exactly what the difference is from standard to shimmed i.e sound difference.

I know the spring is tightened up but will this affect the car in the long run or is it totally safe.

I know its a simple question but i just want to be sure before i go ahead.

Comments appreciated

Chirrrruppppp! Chirrruupppp!

No long term effects to date - makes car sound like a WRC - go for it.

You will need an uprated spring as I well - I needed shims and spring to get it just so - depends on boost level!

Toby we still on to meet on 21st?

 

Does this mean I should get on the phone to Blitz?

 

Hi Trout, why should one benefit from shimming a Forge re-circ???
(Running circa 1.3bar, Link, vf23...etc etc)

Cheers, Jacko.

 

What benefit will you get from shimming a dump valve on a car which is running low boost?

Will it not do more harm than good?
