Hi all, was looking at Creations Motorsport website and came across this item, anyone have any previous experience of this part, recommend it or not, or would you say get a used 007 dv and a service kit? Thanks
 
Personally I would stick to a Forge item or an OEM DV if this is what you currently have... the 007P leaks a little and all the 'copy' ones I have seen leak even worse...

If you don't have the money for a Forge DV stick to the OEM one... its simply better...

Thanks Tuffty thought id ask as there are alot of members who have tried and tested these items before and they/you know more....
 
Thing is though... other people may well be using these and others and be oblivious to any potential issues... I have seen so many cars now that have had silly little problems that the owners are blissfully unaware of... today I saw an AGU Golf that had a Forge cold side relocation kit fitted... the 'vacuum' pipe for the DV was actually 'T'd into the 'boost' pipe of the N75 valve... this would mean in would almost never see a decent form of vacuum and in actual fact would never work even remotely like it should do...

I can say for sure that the OEM DV holds 30psi and doesn't leak... there are also the 'myth's over springs... for almost any application in a 007P you can use a single shim and a green spring...

I've just fitted a 007 after having the fluttery OEM since I bought the car a few weeks ago. It pulls much harder now, sounds a lot more spooly and just feels better. Granted they might leak but a bust diaphragm in my old one was obviously leaking like a madman.

Billet aluminium is always better than plastic too :) :)

Any valve would be an improvement in that case... simply fitting a new OEM one would have done the job just as well...

This point of failure was downfall of the OEM ones but the latest versions are pretty good... in fairness the OEM one could break again but I still maintain its a decent valve... being billet doesn't really make it any better... they leak at the seat.. you don't need a stiff spring (to keep it closed) as all this does is make the valve slow to respond and make the actual opening gap smaller when it does...

You can 'lap' the piston in though (like you would lap the valves in a cylinder head) and this improves the seal...

I believe the Forge 008 has a rubber seal on its piston so should seal well...

To summarise then all products have pros and cons, its about personal preference?!

Heehee I know :) Anything was better than the last. I just like gnarly bits of metal rather than plastic. I bought some Hi Spec Billet 4 pots for my Escort and didn't fit them for months because I liked having them on my desk. Once I did, though, it could do stoppies ;)

I read all of your posts and others' about the 007 vs OEM but decided to go for the Forge item just because I had the cash burning a hole in my pocket and I live close to a tuning shop which had them on the shelf. I might just give lapping a whirl then on your say so as that makes total sense :thumbsup:

I don't know what spring you are running but try a green spring and a shim... the shim (use a little sealant or grease to seal it) will reduce the pistons overall volume and make it more responsive and the green spring will be enough for any boost level...

<tuffty/>
 
Cool Tufty cheers. It's just standard at the moment. I only bought it a month ago and the MOT is due in Feb so I'm just sorting out the niggles and getting it running right and making sure it's ripe for upping the power ONLY after fitting new suspension and S3 brakes, though ;)
 
Well... there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the 007p... so don't go selling up in a panic... if you have one then its fine... the 'leak' in most cases is very slight... and they can be made to seal better and perform fine...

<tuffty/>
 
How much of a **** did I feel after all of that...

OE has done the trick for me, I sold my 007p for £70 and got an OE one for free off a friend. My car is pulling stronger than ever before, and I thought it was good with the leaky 007p! If you can keep on top of lapping the valve in and maintaining the seal then a 007p is probably a better valve, but the OE one is totally maintenance free until you throw it out and replace it...Which most people do with 007p's when they start to leak.

so replace the oe one... You had to replace it.. and bought a.n.other make..
Oe works better than aftermarket unless they're split

Yes but it needs to be from the inlet manifold not the charge pipe... it will not see vacuum when you close the throttle...

oh i see as i have now completed the bypass and thought i had done it wrong lol. thans for clearing that up
 
OK might have been a bit hasty last night in my Lemsip/cider mixing LOL. Keeping the 007 but will lap the piston. Bill, yep I should have bought an OEM one to replace the broken one but I was reading and reading the forum and it seemed that the 007 was the one to get. Course I bought it before I read the link I put above. Oh well, it's working a lot better and that's the main thing I suppose.
