FORGE DV or Splitter???????

[benh999]

About to have the car remapped, so am upgrading the plastic Bosch recirculating valve. The standard replacement is obviously the Forge diverter valve, however I was just wondering now Forge claimed to have overcome the MAF problems with the new "splitter"(recirculation and blow off valve) will be function fine on a remapped S3?

Is any one running one, and what are your views on it please.

Cheers

Ben:thumbsup:

General consesnus on here is the 007p does the job nicely. All the splitter does really is give a little more noise. I have a splitter but only as I got it for a great price new. Id be just as happy with the standard Forge one.

Yup I went for the 007p based on advice from here and never looked back

unless you're a pikey, the 007p is the valve of choice.

[edit] Contemporary usage

The connotation and linkage of gypsies to petty theft, crime and general low socioeconomic activities is well-entrenched, as the text Understanding Representation states:

"Pikey is one of the negative words associated with gypsies: people who fight and steal equals 'pikeys'. It includes fortune tellers such as the famous Gypsy Rose Lee..."[7]
​

Pikey remains common prison slang for Romani people or those who have a (perceived) similar lifestyle of itinerant unemployment and travel.[8]
More recently pikey it was applied to Irish Travellers (also known as tinkers and knackers) and non-Roma Gypsies.[9][10] In the late 20th century, it came to be used to describe "a lower-class person, regarded as coarse or disreputable."[3][11]
Pikey's most common contemporary use is not as a term for the Gypsy ethnic group, but as a catch-all phrase to refer to people, of any ethnic group, who travel around with no fixed abode.
Pikey is also commonly used to describe someone living in a caravan (not necessarily a Romani) and a "half pikey" is someone who lives in a caravan but owns the land it occupies.[citation needed]

Eloborate as to what pikeys have to do with recirc valves.

There's always one, Prawn was SO obviously having a joke WASNT he, so why have you took it upon yourself to take offense by it?

 

[Prawn]

where I come from, one of the many words often used in place of Chav, is pikey.

 

[Dani_B19]

Same round here.

Pikey , chav, scroat, different names same idea

 

[Kunit]

Knickers back on lads I'm not offended just wondered what pikeys have to do with recirc valves as stated in my post. Chavs on the other hand are a completely different thing, so is the consensus that anyone with an atmospheric dump valve a chav?

FMCL007P is always our prefered choice.
