hi guys,

i fitted a forge dump valve earlier today to MY52 wrx. an just went for a drive an it didn't feel too good.

when i fit the DV i thought it would be pretty straight forward so i disconnected the old one an just bolted the new one on. attaching the smaller tube to the top of it an obviously the bigger pipe had nothing to attach on to.

the engine light has come on in the dash an there is a small juddering as the turbo kicking in.

i have a full decat on it with the up pipe done too.

any advice on what to do would be great.

did you block off the "bigger pipe" the forge kit should come with a bung

 

If the "bigger" pipe (which sound to me like the OEM DV return pipe) is not blocked off(you don't mention anything about that...), then this is most likely to be your problem, since you have now got a rather big air leak after you AFM...

 

i haven't blocked it off mate, i bought the DV off of someone so i didn't get a bung with it.


what else could i use to block it off?

if you contact forge they will send you a bung, they are very helpfull

 

Bit of broomstick handle and jubilee clip, untill you can get a propa bung

 

haaahaaha.certainly cheaper than paying about £8

 

cheers guys,

i've stuck a cap in it until i get a bung from forge.

i haven't driven the car yet, but will the engine light go off or how do i have it reset.

Sometimes it may go out as there is no prob but could stay on until it's reset just have to see when u drive it...

 

cheers killa,

if it is still there after i drive it, if i disconnect the battery for a lil while that should reset it right?

Naa mate don't think that works on the 02 wrx but ask some other chap before u take the batt off as it could just be a waste of time although it only takes a few mins,
might need to fix it with the sort of computer, but they should not charge much 5 to 10 quid I would think,

 

beofre you do that just turn the car on and of 5 times

clears some cel lights not all .... can't remember if it gets rid of this one but give it a go

 

it cleared the cell light i was getting when overboosting, when setting dawes up.

I reckon it will work

 

cheers guys,

that definatly work - turning the car over about 5-6 times.

its running fine now, just with soft sound of my DV to amuse me....lol
