Default Faulty recirc

Hi all,

Any ideas as to why my standard recirc dv now sounds like a VTA under hard driving.

I guess I must be losing boost as I went out for a blast with my mate in his civic type r last night (which is bog standard) and I could hardly keep up with him. That put me in my place.

I havent noticed till now but I have only been doing 20 miles a week in it. Roll on the nice weather and long days.

Another standard one, or an uprated recirc from forge or the like. I wont mention vta.

its ok, at the moment i dont notice any difference, however i will when its mapped as the clamping load is different and you can alter the spring strength to suit. its shiny and thats all that matters

i had a bailey vta on mine, whilst i loved the sound initially it got on my 717s after a while.
