What do people thing of Forge dumpvalves, the recirc type. Japanese ones are stupidly expensive and the forge looks good quality, is very simple (less to go wrong) and they say straight up not to use dump to atm valves on AFM cars, which I like as, well its true and lots of other companies fob you off saying it doesn't hurt etc

anyone? If not where shall i ask?

What are you looking to gain by replacing the standard recirc dumpvalve?

BTW I do have a Forge recirc, I put it on because it made a more interesting sound when running an induction kit LOL But my tart days are over now and I've gone back to standard airbox and uprated panel filter now....the Forge therefore is a waste of money in my case so I will probably just swap the OEM one back in and flog the Forge.

Oh yeah! You should be asking in the Drivetrain or General Technical forums

ok, not interested in noise either hence sticking with recirc, i just think mines not that reactive it is 12years old now want an as stock as possible replacement, but better quality

In quality terms I think the Forge seems pretty well stuck together. Don't think they are worth a premium over OEM in terms of functionality if you are running a standard car with standard boost etc...but can't complain about how it's behaved in the 2 years it's been installed...definitely makes the Japanese Brand name DV's look overpriced. (Saying that I also had a HKS SSQ VTA at 3 or 4 times the Forge price....very nice, but way overpriced in my application.

ok, so forge have contridicted themselves, i calleed up to order the fitting kit and valve for them to say they only do dump to atm for my car, despited them saying on their site recirc should be used with AFM fitted cars.
