Hi all,

Ive debated upgrading the stock IX WG to a forge unit. Main reason is obvious, to have the best internally mounted WG management possible for higher boost levels on the IX turbo efficiency range. Another reason is because Im debating running an external O2 dump and dont want an early opening WG. I know an EBC will help with this problem so I know the Forge will not be a one thing fix for that.

Basic question is that is it worth the money to upgrade to a Forge WG?

 

hey bro i installed a forge waste gate act and i am running a fm fab 02 dump, i love it

 

im running a forge waste gate and blowoff and both work great

 

I have one with my Fp black and it works great

 

its a really good product, i was looking into it a little while back for my higher boost application

 

I installed one on my 05 8 turbo, and helped me go from holding 17/18psi at redline to holding 21/22psi at redline, along with switching the mbc to a hallmon pro rx instead of the regular hallman pro.

Spools a lott quicker now, and holds boost a lot better throughout the RPM range.

 

FP has them too and they work great! But yes, an upgrade actuator is a great mod!

 

will you need a tune for this mod? retune?

 

Yes, boost will be a lot different, especially up top.

 

Of course an external gate is the best option but the forge piece is nice

 

+1 on the fp wga I have the 18psi version on my car

 

The FP WGA's, either the 18 pounder, or the 25 PSI unit are all that you really need. If you want to spend the extra cash to have the visually more pleasing Forge unit....then be my guest.

How much boost will you be running anyway?

 

Ideally 25-27psi, or top psi efficiency of the stock IX turbo.

 

Is this the FP WGA in discussion?

Just asking because they have this one listed and another that is $1K!

 

yes the one in the link is the correct one
