Forge 006 Compressor Bypass valve install pix- stock plumbing
Finally got the thing installed in a satisfactory way.
I had to shorten the tube that comes out of the side of the valve by about 3/8 of an inch, and the pipe that comes out of the intake tube by about 1/8 inch, otherwise the valve would touch/rub the coolant tank and eventually wear a hole in it.
You'll notice the very fly 3/4" copper elbow I used. I will be snooping around until I find something in cast aluminum or bronze, until then it should work fine.
The first picture is of the install, the second shows the relative size of the Bosch plastic valve that was replaced.
No performance stats yet. Can't drive it today.
cheers
