I was under the impression the rubber diaphragm in the OEM was the one that leaked.
The Forge 008 on my old stage 1 AUQ (now owned by my mum) is coming up to its 6th birthday. Never leaked never needed a service.

The OE one is said to be good to 300bhp and more if im not mistaken
Forge did/do a device to adjust the pressure a DV sees meaning you don’t need to change the springs. Not seen the data and they don’t seem that common but could be a option.
Also the stock DV are really good but the diaphragm was/is prone to rupture with extra ‘abuse’ - seeing as the LCR was 225bhp you would expect the DV to be rated higher to reduce warrantee claims so 300bhp isn’t unreasonable.

So today i fitted my airtec cooler. 3 hours to fit? My arse! Took me 4 and a half. Didn't stop for a coffee as i didn't have any, just pressed on.
Got it done though and drove it home.

At Least any water that gets in your car due to leaking door seals will have somewhere to drain out
If possible would you be able to tell me what diameter the pipes are for the intercooler (the inlet / outlet side hoses)?
Possibly if your not in a rush. I may have the bumper off again in the next few weeks. No guarantees mind.
I think the rubber just ages and you lose a small amount of power over time without really realising.
You'd be ok if you just replaced the stock one every few years. But then you find out it boosts better and then realise you've been driving around for a year with less power.
To measure up for the bracket to relocate the shifter I had to pull out the front seats out.
Of course me being me thought "Let's see how much my interior weighs" and I got a tiny bit carried away.
Will start weighing things as soon as I've made it drivable again cuz it's too fecking cold to go to work on the bike.

Madness. It's noisy enough when you have the seats folded down.

Boredom will come in the form of tackling the wiring loom, sound deadening should be easy enough with either dry ice or plumbers freeze spray
Headphones ftw!
