is this the same as a 007p

[Rocky Rocastle]

for the sake of £20 odd i dont understand the debate? as per everone, 007 is arguable the best dv you can get on this engine and in the unlikely event anything goes wrong, Awesome replace it. Chinese one goes wrong, quite likelt, your up sh*t creek. No customer service comeback guaranteed and you buy the 007 to avoid getting burnt twice so you end up spending extra!

surely the pic above is evidence enough ?

Its worth £20 more just to know that it wont end up messing you about. I ran one on an S3 (Forge, not copy) and it never had to be touched again. The internals were precision made and the plunger fitted really well etc . Not worth taking shortcuts.

how you going to service it in 12 months time? If you want to save money a new OEM valve would be cheaper and more reliable, it wont need servicing either.
Theres no references on the net for that valve.

at the end of the day its your car so if you want to get it you get it but you have been warned mate look at the state of that 1 i had.

So what your saying........is no?

Ok lads cheers

 

[S3 AKR]

I guess so!!

 

[Damoegan]

buy cheap by twice

spilt seal in a week on a cheap 1.

Nuff said realy...

If that was a Forge unit then Forge would of sent out a replacment the same day

 

[lock1981]

Is that a rubber seal?

What do you need to do to service them? I was reading a thread earlier and it had photos of it took apart. Didn't notice anything apart from seals. Is a service just cleaning and changing them?

Opps sorry on my phone

[CupraDaveG]

why not get the real thing, its not much more and its the best FACT

why is it £100 on Forge, but AGTI do it for £76?

 

[sambryant]

forge service is, new piston, new rubber seals and high temp grease. can you buy the pistons for the copy one? i dont think so, so every 12months you would need to buy a new dumpvalve, well thats if it lasts that long!!!

 

[cupra r. ash]

Agree. Forge all the way. I have a forge 1 saying awsome on it. Amd its awsome haha

 

[CupraDaveG]

So why is the Awesome GTI version cheaper than the one on Forge's site?

 

[cupra r. ash]

Iv asked awsome. Ther made by forge but ther allowed to sell it cheaper jus because it has an awsome logo on. Ther exactly the same

 

[lock1981]

All I'm saying is if its a copy of a forge I can use forge replacement parts.if not I'm sure I could get a rubber seal maybe not piston.

Anyone had both see what's different?

 

[CupraDaveG]

Thats rediculous.

So Forge manufacture it, sell it to Awseome, and they are able to sell it £25 cheaper? AND you get the Awesome Logo? :S

Nothing i bet. At the end of the day, if you have access to cnc mill's, lathes etc. You can copy anything to the exact quality.

The rubber seal in a forge is obviously sourced from somewhere decent, and the copys use a cheaper company, dont know about the springs though.

For £75 just get the forge mate, saves you having to worry about anything.

 

[sambryant]

the demon one is nothing like the forge 007 so no!!!




completely different
so tell me this, why would you want to buy a cheap dumpvalve then use decent inners, why not buy a decent dumpvalve in the first place.
