[Turboman-a3]

Cheers guys do I need a fitting kit for it s3bam ? Cheers guys for your help

 

[S3BAM]

[mk1kid]

i have a baileys dv if thats any good to you bam as i want a forge 007

 

[ross_broughton]

Does the forge 007 diverter valve giv off a good noise?

 

[ross_broughton]

Also is there a difference between a dump valve and a diverter valve?

 

[s3dave]

dump valve dumps to air/atmosphere ..diverter valve gets metered back in to the engine needed

 

[SamiG]

Bailey DV30 sounds much better that the Forge 007p (if your after noise over stealth)

 

[ross_broughton]

So I take it the diverter valve is better for performance?

Also does the diverter make the same sort of psshhttt noise?

yes and yes although no where near as loud as it is internal

 

[Turboman-a3]

Does anyone use the dv26 ? And to recap lol the loudest is the dv30? Cheers guys

 

[S3BAM]

Yes Dv30 is a dump valve so you will get noise... 007p is recurc so only very slight

I would say 90% of people run the recurc over d.valve as d.valves can cause issues...

No, no , no.

The DV30 is NOT a dump valve just to clear that up.

It's a fully recirculating diverter valve, same as the Forge 007p but for some reason is just louder.

I don't think it would even be possible to run a fully atmospheric dump valve on a 20vT because they do not have the secondary recirc pipe hence dumping the load atmospherically.

The only one you can go for is the Forge Splitter Valve which is a part recirc part atmospheric valve but there are a few stories of them playing up and messing with your engine.

If you want noise and reliabilty go for - Bailey DV30

If you want noise and less reliabilty go for - Forge Splitter

Less noise and reliabilty - Forge 007p

Simples

where did you get that information from about a dump valve not being a dump valve if it doesnt recirculate the excess air?

 

[SamiG]

Dump valves don't recirculate, they dump atmospherically.

 

[Matt82]

no, thats not correct at all.

look at Forge's own webpage
http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&PageNo=4&catalog=0006

they use the terms completely interchangably and often use blow off vavle in its place. a dump valve dump the excess boost, the clue to where it dumps the boost is in the first part of its name.

Got my 007p form S3BAM today. Sounds a lot better than the Forge split r that was on before it in my opinion

 

[Matt82]

did your bam ever spit out fault codes due to the Split R valve? id have thought it would get upset about the missing air

 

[adam8747]

Havnt had the car long, the Split R came on it so I'm not sure. seemed to run ok, the noise was a bit chavvy for me thats all. Apparently they come with a blanking plate which replaces the trumpet to make it fully recirc.

007p sounds a lot better, well pleased for £75 brand new in box

 

[Turboman-a3]

So will I need a fitting kit with the dv30 or is it just replacement cheers

 

[adam8747]

Its a direct replacement

 

[Turboman-a3]

Ok thanks all who posted I'm guns go with the dv30 as it's a noise thing lol cheers

 

[SamiG]

Good choice son! ;-)
