Here is my video review.

YouTube - Forge Motorsport BPV Review

I will make a correction to this already. It is not because of the Forge Motorsport BPV that my cat warm up cycle is not there anymore. It is because of my tune

 

Good review! I may have to pick one of these up next summer.

 

this is gunna take me like an hour to load with shitty iraq internet. lol. but im loading it.

 

which one exactly was it? cause im curious and am lookin gto upgrade but dont want a bov. so what im asking is which forge bvp did you buy since they dont have them listed by make and great vid btw

 

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have the Forge BPV myself. If you havent already. put some real synthetic hightemp grease on it. will keep it from sticking on cold days until the car warms up. Mine would stick at 50degree cold starts until it was hot with the grease that came on it.

 

Mine doesn't surge like that at all. Mine is also greased with Mobil1 syn axle grease though. Also, I'm on the lighter spring, because the heavier one is unnecessary. (edit, just saw you're using the green spring now)

Also, you need to make very sure that the opening in the bottom half of the valve is facing towards the hole in the turbo. I forget off the top of my head which way. I mentioned it in the original Forge BPV thread.

edit: the slotted opening in the Forge valve should face down, towards the ground.

 

Great review. I will be picking one of this up tonight. I have had the random boosting only 5 psi a couple of times so hopefully this will clear it up. Thank you for the time spent making the review.

 

I did speak with Mike at Forge today. told him that the product fit our cars and that i was writing a review for CSS.NET and he kindly asked for all of the links.

He said he would try to get on and answer any questions he could. I also told him people are looking to uy the product so maybe we can convince him to do a Group Buy for people who do not have on yet.

 

thanks man. it took forever to edit and all the clips. Then to load it to you tube. that took an hour itself.

 

FYI - Here's why the slot needs to face down, in case you were wondering.

 

Thanks!...... you always have pictures/cutaways/diagrams of everything

 

I would get in on a Group Buy for sure on one of these

I have no issue with my stock one but this one looks much better

 

Maybe I'll hook up the headrest camera mount this weekend. The sound I get when the car is cold is very different. It's a continuously open valve. You can hear it just very slowly go "pshoooooooooooooooooo". No flutter. Hahn intake w/ K&N drycharger, cat warmup tables are stock.

 

I think this will be my next purchase....

 

Yea i think vince took out my cat warm up tables. im still waiting to hear back from nelson if he did or not. I want it back

 

i love the sound of it, but question, i have the dejon spring. did you use your stock spring or did you get an aftermarket one? AND do you think it would be ok if i were to use the Dejon spring? thanks...

 

Very nice video. Good info as well.
One thing that perplexes me...what is it about the GM1 that causes the stock BPV to screw up? I have HPT and no problems what so ever. Must be something to do with direct boost control (via vacuum control solenoid that feeds BPV) vs HPT which uses DALS to override the stock boost levels.

 

i used the spring that came with the Forge BPV. thats all i would use in it since it is supplied.

idk. there was a huge thread about it

here ya go

 

Yeah, the Trifecta tune removed the cat warmup mode.

 

Great vid, a truly proper way to post a review. I am getting one for Christmas. What size socket was needed? 10MM maybe?

 

looks to be a 3/8 idk about metric... lol.

 

I never had a problem with GMS1.

 

its a 10mm sir

 

I still get a slight flutter but only when my boost gauge is in vacuum. Everything looks fine and nothing looks outta place, outside of my fuel trims being all over the place.
