Recirculating valve

[Shaunyboy]

I found this on flea bay - http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/NEW-VAG-1-8T...Valve-BOV_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ300325165872

What do you all think, i cant afford a forge due to the engine rebuild but want to change th DV aswell as the n75 as i had intermittent boost problems, its also getting 4 new coils , or am i better of with a new bosch one? will a bosch be ok on a stage 1?

Not quite a Forge one, although looks very similar, but deff better than the Bosch ones and no Bosch one not suitable for stage 1.

Please be careful ...This is a Forge Chinese copy , I have a box here with 20 or so in all with stuck pistons .. or split O rings that customers have sent in thinking they were made buy us but they were not .The Forge valves are warrantied FOR LIFE

there's a guy running 330bhp on standard bosch one.

I think the bosch ones are good for stage one. But as for that dump valve i really wouldn't bother...i personally wouldn't trust anything like that with out a brand name. Its gonna cost you £50 in total for that one...dp engineerings forge 007p i think are 79.99 including post and vat with lifetime guarantee

Was told by CC that needed an uprated one for Stage 1 and TBH running 330bhp on a standard one, which are prone to failure and can result in parts entering turbo upon serious failure, is asking for trouble IMO!

May weel be worth spending the extra and getting the Forge item then.

Piston design gives a much better throttle response though.

There are a few Forge dump valves for sale second hand on here for approx £50 - £60. I'd leave the ebay one well alone.

I have used both the Forge 007p (using now) and the cheaper one of ebay which was about £45, noticed no difference between the 2 but if you have the cash i'd recomend the Forge just for piece of mind.
