Quick query - will this work okay?
Need to swap my hks d/v flange with somebody as I'm upgrading to sti8 i/c soon (from sti5/6 i/c). This will mean having to take my HKS d/v off until I fit the sti8 i/c.
Will it be okay to run the standard OEM d/v on vta?
I only ask as I cant seem to locate the re-circ pipe.

Try it and you'll see, this is the reason why the OEM DV can't be used VTA - it sits there gaping open at idle. Forge recirc does the same until you shim it so much it will hardly open. If you want VTA, use a VTA DV.

I wasnt aware that the OE d/v was open on idle, but now you have advised that, I know that its not possible to use the OE d/v without re-circ pipe.
Guess I will just have to try and source a oe re-circ pipe before parting with the HKS flange....or just stop being lasy and fit the sti8 i/c
Thanks for clearing that up.
