I had a friend make up a couple of alloy spacers, 2mm and 4mm, so that i could tune the spring tension with either 2mm, 4mm, or 6mm ;-)

Could someone tell me on the photo of the stock intercooler the hose nipple above the waste gate line that is caped off (that is refered to as a test port) on my 92 turbo has a hose running to a vac. diaphram mounted on intake manifold that has a hose running to the intake. Can this be removed and capped off ,I have no air injection and i think this system had something to do with it's opperation

Just got my Forge.
What is the ideal spring/shim setup with 1 bar spring in the wastegate?
What is the proper way to tune it?
This is on a 3.3 t and mine came with the tuning kit.
Thanks.

Her is what I got from Forge...they just linked me to their website.
I guess a boost guage is the only way to tell what is going on.

Your valve tuning kit you will find four springs and three spacers.
The strongest spring is the red, followed by the blue, yellow and finally the green which is the weakest. The spacers enable you to fine tune the settings between two spring tensions if required.
We normally supply our valves, unless requested differently, with a spring that will match the tension of the manufacturer’s original fitment valve. However, as many owners undertake tuning modifications some may wish to re-tune the valve characteristics to suit a given application.
If you are finding that the valve is dumping more than required or you are loosing boost pressure it is normally an indication that a stronger spring is required. Conversely if the valve is failing to dump it may be necessary to install a weaker spring. If during this tuning of your valve you are faced for example with the red spring being to strong and the blue spring to weak, you can add the spacers to the blue spring to increase the tension by small increments, thus achieving a setting between the red and blue springs."
Valve Spring color coding
Green - 5-15 PSI
Yellow - 15-23 PSI
Blue - 23-30 PSI
Red - 30 + PSI

Search for this. I seem to recall people running 1bar of boost used the green spring and 2 shims. but please check before taking what I THINK was said.
Adding a shim will hold the valve shut longer before it opens.

Can you please measure the thickness of your extra shims for me??
Cheers.

The springs are rated as follows:
Green 5-15
Yellow 15-23
Blue 23-30
Red 30+ (not recommended for use in the 007)
All of the 007s should include a partial spring tuning kit and two shims. If your valve has "forge" machined on the BODY of the valve it is a diaphragm valve that we call the Eliminator and it does not include the extra springs. Apart from that the valves look nearly identical.

Just noticed you asked about the shims, they are ~1.45mm.
If you find that two are not enough to give you the response that you want go to the next stiffer spring.
Also, the orientation of the valve has an impact on its performance and response. As well as the sound, the valve will make more noise if the charge air enters from the bottom port.

I can't tell you if you can just cap it off or not but the 3.6l's were plumbed this way vs the 3.3l which were the way you described.

Hi
I was checking the piping in the engine bay and found that the small hose from the top of the CBV is not connected to anything. I have looked all round the area and can't find anything obvious it should connect to. Can anyone send a photo of where this small hose should connect to.
Thanks
