bought a standard dv now looking at my forge i can see the big dv and further down to the left off it another chrome bit is that part off it will this be straightforward to fit any ideas best way to remove and advise on putting the standard one back on

 

Nick dead easy, unbolt the 2 bolts holding the forge onto the intercooler(using a 12 mm spanner),disconnect the small vacume hose and remove dv with the gasket.The chrome bit i think your refering to is a bung which is normally placed in the return inlet tract.It will probably be held in the pipe by a clip.Undo clip and pull out the bung.Fit standard recirc valve back on making sure that the pipe which had the bung in connects to the hose outlet pipe on your recirc valve,and jubilee clip it up.Put gasket back on and connect recirc back onto intercooler with same 2 bolts,connect up vacume hose and away you go.

 

thanks for the reply now this clip on the bung is it a jubilee clip or some thing else

 

It might not have a clip,depending on how tight the bung is in the pipe ,but most people tend to use the existing o/e spring clip that the car came with.

 

sorry for sounding a bit thick but does the spring clip fit over the bung and how do you remove and refit a sring clip lol

 

A pair of pliers mate,squeeze the 2 lugs together which will open up the clip,slide it down the hose ,and remove the bung ,it might be a little tight.

 

i see what you mean now ill try tommorow thanks

 

right this dv ive got standard one has the pipe at the top off dv and the bit were the bung pipe should go but looking at mine it has 2 screw holes in it so you basicly coudnt secure it with a spring clip looks like there should be a gasket on where it mates up with the bung pipe

 

Right nick first need you to confirm that the dumpvalve you have fitted to your car looks like this :

If it is you simply undo the 2 x 12 mm bolts and disconnect the blue hose in the picture,the dv should come off and there should be a gasket behind it.

The standard dump valve should look like this:

As you have the forge removed,you should be able to see a pipe with a bung in next to your intercooler,remove the bung and fit the hose to your std recirc valve & fasten with a clip./tie ,and bolt it back on to the intercooler.Refit the vacume pipe and away you go,are you sure you have the correct recirc valve as the 99/00 ones are similar shape but have the hose pointing to the right at about 2.0 clock,the correct one should have the hose pointing to the bottom at about 6.0 clock.

 

there is no hose as such on the standard dv i bought its the same as the one on ebay second pic but has no hose coming from it

 

you've got the wrong 1 then nick

 

supposidley off a blobeye wrx gona keep the forge on for now as i think my exhaust system is the player in why im having boost issues

 

Nick are you saying that the recirc valve you have bought has not got a alloy pipe at the bottom of the valve, as bug/blob eye are the same valve.
see below:

It would be interesting if you could post some pictures of the valve you have
