ADVICE NEEDED ON dump valve SET UP

[Vin-R]

Oh, and has anyone got a pic of the valve fitted backwards ???

thnx

 

[JamJay]

Fitting it backwards is just fitting it sideways, i.e. the small vacuum hose nipple is now facing the right as opposed to straight up.

I didn't notice a change in sound in the few hours I had it swapped. If I am honest, it was no louder than the OEM position did not change much in sound so I swapped it back. I feel more comfortable having it round the correct way it was intended.

ah cool thanks mate.. i might give this a try. just for the sake of it. My dv on my golf GTI 1.8T started fluttering once, but that was due to a perforated diaphragm in the stock valve hehe

 

[ForgeMotorsport]

you can fit in either orientation

 

[Vin-R]

brilliant, so it just changes the sound to a flutter doenst it ??

 

[ForgeMotorsport]

sometimes it does sometimes it doesent the only thing to do is try it and see how you like it and how you feel it performs

 

[Vin-R]

riiight, so would there be a difference in performance etc ?? a drop or something ??

 

[ForgeMotorsport]

shouldnt do ....if you are worried fit as per the instructions

 

[Vin-R]

cheers!

Hope you like it, fiddling around with the jubilee clip on the bottom hose is a pain in the arse . I lost my friggin' 7mm socket down on the undertray too lol.

 

[ForgeMotorsport]

welcome

 

[Vin-R]

lol Jason, done that many a time on my old mk4 Golfs, lost a 7mm socket ... and the more popular 10mm sockets down there too!!! ... dad was wondering where that had got to (hmmmmmmm)

 

[ForgeMotorsport]

there you go

Working on cars wouldn't be fun if it was easy

Off to Halfords for a replacement i think.

sorry guys, just to reiterate, is it 100% ok to put the forge 007 on the other way round ... does it give same performance etc ?? not damaging etc?? and wont cause any management lights to come up ??

Is the "ONLY" difference the noise ?? is it like a "flutter" sound as you come off the gas?

cheers beforehand!!!

vin

Its perfectly safe mate! im sure i read somewhere that forge actually tested it either way and said it was safe and it worked better the other way round!!. It depends if you like a chirping?squeeking noise. Give it a go and see what you think. I didnt like it i thought the oem way made a lovely subtle sound when lifting off the gas.

 

[ForgeMotorsport]

try it and see

 

[slim20vt]

the standard way is better i think..........better sound, if i fitted forge hoses airintake,intercooler hoses would this in hance the noise anymore?? as there slighty bigger? anyone?

 

[vee_dub_modder]

you should fit it the correct way round... the other way will most likely stall the turbo (even if only slightly) you may not notice it when driving but even a few turbo rpms will be making an impact.

otherwise Vw wouldn't have a "correct fitting" of the standard and Forge would do the same in their instructions. you need both boost pressure on the correct side and vacume to activate the valve propperly...

and the flutter on a 007 fitted the opposite way round (if you get one) is all that pressure backfeeding the turbo (try blowing into a fan you get the same sound) -- it sounds good but is as useful to your cards performance as a chocolate tea pot is at holding hot tea!

The induction kit will make the valve more audible for sure
