Bosch #0 280 142 110 or Saab # 44 41 895,

Those Forges,Blizs etc. does usually not work any better than these Bosch valves. Get those shiny expensive ones if you are looking for that rice burner bling,bling look. For 35 euros iam satisfied with Bosch/Saab valve !

 

For me, it wasn't a difference of working better, just lasting longer. There is no rubber diaphram to tear in the Forge unit. And thankfully, it now comes in black, rather than polished aluminum.

Regards,

 

I run a Bailey Valve (to atmosphere) on my Probe, and a Forge (Bypass) on my Saab.

It is generally a bad idea to have a atmospheric valve after an air meter, even teh best valves will throw you off.

 

These Bosch units will last for years.This Forge valve is quite expensive (135$), for that price iam able to buy quite a lot Bosch/Saab valves....I just bought one for 35 euros. Installation will take couple of minutes.

 

I really like my Forge. Of course I bought it used ($100) but can't find fault with it. It'll last forever.

 

how is that noise ricey ? its uber sweet... i have a 996 twin turbo cbv that im putting on my volvo :-P lol.

 

For what its worth, I went through two of the OEM CBV's in three years before I bought the Forge. I am glad your experience has been different with them, and its true, they only take a moment to swap out, but its one less thing that I am worried about now.

Regards,

 

what does a blown BOV valve feel like when driving?

 

Nickhance.

When my stock valve was failing at the track, I experienced loss of power and I could hear " chirpping " sound from the CBV. (a stock CBV should not make any chirpping noises)

I had a spare and all was well. Difference was significant enough to tell.

Eugene.

It should hold a suction there, should it not?</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">Yes Nick what you stated above is how to test it.

 

 

WOW Rennlist is moving slow right now!
