dont know if this is in the right place so sorry if its not , i had a forge split-r on my leon fr and i decided to put a collins dv on for a change but it seems that its lost power . . i have looked to see if a pipe has come off or anythin like that and i cant see anythin .could it be that im just thinking that its lost power .could it be anythin else ?? oh my car is standard apart from the dv and relocation pipe from forge sorry if this is a stupid question but its now bugging me
I have no experience with the Collins DV, but in the 1st instance, and it's probably something you've already done, just make sure that everything that you un-did to remove the forge unit is up nice & tight on the new unit.
The loss of power (if there is any) is more than likely down to boost leak somewhere, and the easiest way to check this is with a Boost gauge...
Have you tried putting the Forge unit back on to see if there is a change in power?!

The issue you are having maybe because you are using a dump valve and not a recirculating valve, the ecu will probably see your dump valve as a boost leak! The Forge split-r is a special in that it only dumps some of the charge, so ecu is kept happy but you still get a wooshy noise. In my opinion your best course is to sell the Collins and either put on the split-r or better yet a Forge 007 fully recirculating valve!
i have been drivein home from work and the loss of power i thought i was havein is actually happerning ,when it does it i pull over turn the car off and sit a min turn it back on and its ok . the reason i got a colins was because i have seen a leon with 1 on and like i said i wanted a change so thought why not lol the collins is very loud and i though thats what i would like but tbh after havein it on i dont want it loud i liked how my split-r sounds so it looks like im goin back to that 
. . .thanks for your replys

thats called limp mode.. your car dont like the dv.. i been throught the same with mine and it is alot easier to go fully recirc. your car will be alot smoother and pull stronger.
i went the bailey dv26 route but on partial throttle the dv was leaking

After reading your other thread isn't that "had"...sorry!!
Some engines will run fine with VTA type valves, while others have a fit. I'm sure RobDon was running an HKS SSQV on his at one point with no problems at all. I've tried a full VTA on mine, and wasn't happy...just luck of the drawn with the engine really?!
Collins is Tiwn piston and will run badly , its the same as our 004 valve , it will 100% be overfueling ,the split R was designed to stop this
