Which Forge Diverter Valve?
I am looking at replacing my stock Bosch diverter valve with a Forge Motorsports one but can't really decide which one to go with based on their site information. I think I have it narrowed down between the FMCL007P and the FMDV006. Does anyone know the major differences between the two models?

A diverter valve is the black plastic valve that sits by the coolant tank. It's porpose is to vent boost pressure when the throttle plate closes. Otherwise the air was nowhere to go and the turbo will slow abruptly and possibly bend blades etc. You need a new one if yours doesn't hold vac anymore or leaks boost pressure.

For a stock setup with AFM or MAF a diverter is preferred because it keeps all the air that has been metered in the system. Since a MAP meters at the intake manifold it is not necessary to divert. So you can run a BOV.

WTF?
I know IB will take cash from anywhere, but damn man, we can watch infomercials anywhere.
Got any tech help to provide? Maybe "forge" a relationship around here?
Just saying.
