I took my stock one off the other day and I did not see any tears but when I put my finger over the nipple and tried to make the diaphram seal on the plastic it would not stay compressed. So, I am thinking that I may have a small hole in mine. I also think temperature realy efects the stock ruber one. In therory it should not effect the metal one at all.

 

X2....but I think I'm gonna wait till they have a group buy

 

this should be made a Sticky

 

Mods.....make it a sticky!! Plezse

 

???
Why would it stay compressed?...there's a SPRING in there which, under normal circumstances (no vaccum source or boost..at rest), will be fully EXTENDED, pressing against the opening from the turbo. It's only under vacuum, that the spring contracts..pulling the body into the seal. Pushing it in and then placing your finger over the nipple doesn't create enough vacuum. In fact, even without the spring in there...I don't think it would stay compressed. The spring is rated at 8lbs force. You need to overcome that with vacuum. At idle/ throttle slaming shut on lifting.... there's 20in Hg, which is 9.82 lbs of vacuum..enough to overcome the 8lb spring. At least that's my take.

 

Once i hear about a Group Buy i will order

 

When I first took my BPV off aprox a year ago it would stay shut.

 

OK...guess that shoots down my *take* on that one. Surprising it would stay shut like that.
Would be intertesting to take a vacuum pump to it and see what's up.

 

It never stayed all the way in, it pops half the way out but still sealed up on the plastic part.

 

You're confused on how the BPV works. There is no seal required against the plastic piece. It's not possible to have the stock BPV stick closed. It would tear.

The stock one is either sealing, or not sealing. It can't get stuck, unlike a piston (Forge) type, which can get stuck. The stock diaphragm is recirculating air, as soon as it moves at all. Pressure from desired boost + spring keeps it shut (fully extended) when you want boost. Vacuum + pressure differential opens it (shorten) when you lift off the throttle.

 

Hey guys. I'm working with Forge Motorsport on a group buy. I have to organize it and get permission from the moderators here if they will allow me to do it on their behalf. Mike from Forge Motorsport will be siging up on the forum to answer any questions you will have but will not be able to promote the product because it takes time to become a supporting vendor.


I need you to post or either PM me if you interested in a group buy. i will let you know as things progress.

 

ah yes he was talking to me today about it.

I would be in.

 

Hey Gdubs, can you PM me the contact info for the guy you've been working w/. I'm using a DV0006 on my setup and have some questions for him. It would be nice to have a good contact for some answers...

 

I'd be in for group buy so long as there was a way to get it shipped to Canada and so long as this group buy happens before the end of March.
