For those of you with Forge BOV's, need help, what spring are you using?

vipernj · 01-21-2006, 09:49 PM

hey all. Just got mine yesterday and put it on.. sounds nice, but the spring it came with seemed too tight. I put the smallest looking spring in and it seems to be working ok, but it does feel a little loose as well. Since there is no adjustment screw... these are the other springs I have, and I dont knwo which one to use...

Also, what are these spacers for... Since I have the smallest spring in, can I use one of these spacers to help out just a little? Thanks

Green: 5-15 PSI
Yellow: 15-23 PSI
Blue: 23-30 PSI
Red: 30 + PSI

The discs are used the same way an adjustment screw is, to put pre-load on the springs if you need to fine tune between suggested rates.

I use the blue spring but get compressor surge with anything below full boost besides that the car seems to run the best with this particular spring. I get no compressor surge with the yellow spring but it feels like the car spools slower.

ooo, ok... from the pics i took i have the green spring in there.. it seems to be ok, but I do think its too loose, maybe one of those discs will fix that... otherwise ill try and switch to the yellow spring and see if that helps
