forge dv spring busted
 

hey guys
i have a forge dumpvalve and the springs broke inside so i need a new one,
any ideas where i can get a new one from i didnt really want to buy all 4 just for 1 spring, i need the yellow spring
Yellow - 15-23 PSI
any ideas guys?

Try contact Forge.

i have sent them a message mate, just waiting to hear back :)

forgot to add
im not sure if this matters but its a single piston one and its a blow off valve

You can get the pack of 4 for about £16 I think, it's good to play around with different settings, I found the red spring worked best for me :thumb:

which one would i need guys
this kit

or this

my dv looks like this
http://www.forgemotorsport.com/conte...duct=FMDVK013A
but this is saying its a dual piston and ive opened mine up and its only one in there

The second link I think http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/con...roduct=FMDVTUN

As there is a link to a spring tunng product on the third link you have provided showing which DV you have, if you're not sure best to contact forge they will sort it for you :)

nice 1 mate ill see what they say first because 23 quid just for a spring is crazy, i wouldnt use the rest, carnt drive the car as it is because it sucks air in lol so parked on the drive at the moment

Depends which turbo you have,but you can drive without the DV,just fit there bung(where has been DV) and block silicone pipe for DV.


Jura

ohh i see
i only have one pipe going to my dumpvalve and then the vacum pipe ,so i just have to remove the DV and block the pipe?
would i have any problems or could it damage the car in anyway?

and the turbo is upgraded, it was boosting to 20 psi and overboosting was happening so i had to fit a manual boost controller to turn it down untill i get it mapped, so i turned it down to 17

Really if you don't know which turbo you have don't do this,because older VF are too fragile and will blown without the DV on longer run.
Newer VF or TD05(even TD04) are OK if you want run without the DV,really depends which turbo you have..



Jura

how do i know what turbo i have mate
on the turbo it says RHF5
when i bought the car it was suppost to be 310bhp and lots of upgrades

Not sure matey,but this turbo i think is VF22 and on this turbo i don't recommend run DVless(or without the DV)

This turbo is good from some reports for around 320-350bhp with supported mods.


Jura

ok mate thanks for your help, ill leave it on the drive untill i get a spring,
