Forge 007 spring colour for remap?

[Meza]

Hi,

I've got a Forge 007 diverter valve on my S3, it's been remaped - which colour spring should I be using? And what are the problems with using the wrong colour spring?

cheers!

Yellow, you may also need some shims. The wrong spring if too soft won't hold boost and recirc it sooner then need, the wrong spring when too hard won't allow the valve to open.

What colour spring does the Forge 007 come with as standard?

ICE

Green if you don't ask for a different colour.

Forge told me Green is the correct spring, are you saying its yellow?

 

[vanilla_ice]

Forge told me either green or yellow. Experiement with yellow if not happy with green.

Depends what car and what boost you're running?

Hi Dean
Thanks for the email
The 007 valves come assembled with a green coloured spring inside as standard , this will be fine on a standard car or a chipped car

I'm going back to std, as I have a few strange boost issues, off/on boost at revs 3-4k rpm
