Forge 007p fitting, which way round?

[KP]

Hi people

When fitting my forge tip today, my mate told me that i have had my forge dv fitted the wrong way round. I had it fitted like no.1 ref image, but he recons it should be fitted like no.2, because the pressure is at the intercooler end and so needs to push against the piston in the dv.

Just wondering which way round people have fitted their dv?

I would use method 1 so that boost pressure is sat on the side of the piston rather than at the base and possibly pushing it open! Method 2 is said to be slightly louder.

Should be fitted the same as number one

I thought that the piston needed to be pushed up at the base? How do the gasses get released when pressure is on the side of the piston, doesnt it force the piston shut?

Lol! What do you think the vacuum hose is for?

Opening your diverter valve may be? Or am I just being crazy!

lol sorry im new to this, dont really know how they work, should of done some homework first.

Ill change it back to normal (1) tomorrow, seems to run ok either way though just a touch louder like you said

I think you will find that forge say its fine to run it either way! I run my dv as shown in method 1.

I run mine reversed for that little chirp it gives off. Never had any problems with it around that way.

number 1 is correct its the other valve that forge do that gives you recirculating and atmos you have to fit the other way round.
