Forge RS BOV + Alky @ 25psi
I know there's a few of you running the Forge Rs on alky. I'd like to know where you have yours set at, close to max, in the middle or towards the soft side. I know each car is going to be set up different but just wanted to get a cross section of where you guys have yours set at with alky. I just got done installing mine and am in the process of testing and tuning it for my car.

I dont know if you have a MBC or not, but my car used to buck when I had it hooked up the the BOV as a souce, but since changing it to use the turbo as a source it doesnt buck at all. I don't have alky, but I thought maybe this would help.

Is this normal for this valve? When I have the 1G, I'd only hear the same sound with the BOV venting. After I crushed my 1G, it too was making the snake sound at part throttle.
Yes the "rattle snake" sound is normal or at least I think so cause I was hearing that too with mine.

Had I known you had one sitting around. I would off taken it of your hands. How come you don't have it hooked up to your car? I crushed my 1G and may have crushed it a little to much. It held boost better than uncrushed but I was having idle issues with the crushed 1G so had to order new BOV.

The ONLY Forge RS to use is the recirc one
You can adjust it from stock like to a full race valve
It is an amazing unit and I have used it on at least 40 cars with perfect 100% driveability
