evolutionist,

I'm just wondering what inconsistancey exsists between your valve and mine... or all that work well and don't for that matter. I'm one of the people who are running whatever spring that was shipped with the unit with no issue. Yet I've read of many, many people who are having issue. My only concern is how small the inner dimensions are. When I really start moving some air, I'm worried the Forge DV will be too small.

if hyperboost is making their evo dv the same way they do for the VW's/Audi's then it's really not any different from the forge design..

How many have been returned?

What are common reasons the valve is returned?

How many versions of the Forge Evo DV have been manufactured (not including variations in color, anodizing, etc.)

Do you have plans to release any additional diverter valves for the Evo? What will be different about them?

i dont have any problems with my forge bov, i did have a problem a while back with my rfl txs bov, but i didnt have any problems with there type H (on the wrx) the only thing that is weird, yet expected is that once you are cruising at highway speeds, the boost (21psi) builds so quickly, like under 1/4 throttle so its very hard to NOT be hesitant when taking your foot off the pedal. I'd imagine 21psi-negative #'s would make the car jump slightly. The turbo spools so quick now, i figure its part of having such a quick spooling car. correct me if im wrong. the forge with the blue spring (the only one i tried) hasnt blow off at half throttle, only when i back off the throttle, which i'd expect because its jumping from about 1.5+bar to alot less, thats another large change in boost pressure. note while being dyno'd at turbotrix, we did have to take a zip tie to keep the stock breather valve (the thin rubber line on top) from coming off, it blew off completely during a run on the dyno.

my forge does have like a kick back to it under half throttle.... but I'll take it over the HKS SSBOV I had before that..... maybe sometime in the future I'll go to something else, but for now Im happy enough with it

the key is to let go of the gas pedal quicker.. in other words to try not to be so much on half throttle.. it's hard to explain, but once u figure it out, it's a non-issue anymore.. and it just plain works awesome!

What do you do around a long-sweeper on a road course?
