just a few questions
1st do you still have black ones?
2nd...are they really that "much better" than the Hallman Pro RX?

reason I ask is beacause I just ordered a pro-RX a few days ago and now you got me thinking

Answers:

1. Right now Black units are still being manufactured in the UK. From what I understand, the components are already machined and ready for assembly, but they need to be anodized, which we send them out to a shop down the road from Forge UK to be done.

2. I cannot comment on the performance nor operation of the Hallman unit as I have no personal experience with one, but many customers who have used both have commented to us that they are very similar in performance and operation, but that ours seems to have slightly less boost tapering and that the adjustment of ours is much nicer.

Our unit has the ratcheting top, whereas the Hallman does not. We feel that this aspect is much prefered by most users to keep track of set points and such, but the operation of all ball-and-spring type boost controllers is very similar despite this feature.

Good luck with your choice!

I am Mike from Orlando, obviously, but I've never had a 337.

I used to have a VR6 GTI and a 1.8T Jetta, but never a 337. Another gentleman that used to work here at Forge had a 337, but it wasn't mine!

If I still remember it was a silver GTI/337 or whatever
I bought a Forge DV for a turbo beetle from you or him at the Lowes parking lot in Sand Lake a few years ago

I'm going to be working on a "write up" for the Evo in the next few days, hopefully. Just need to get a friends car in here to do it.
