Forge Install* lol. So I searched and came up with nothing. I simply just want to know which direction to install the forge bpv into my car. I haven't taken my old one out yet so maybe that will answer my question, but I don't want to take the old one out really unless I already know lol. Thanks.

 

with the opening facing down.

 

Thank you.

 

It'll very obvious once you take your stock one out. Make sure you leave the vacuum line attached to the stock one while you're taking it out. It holds the spring and the diaphragm in place

 

Oh no way, I totally installed mine facing up

Imma Idiot!!! been driving around with it for months now in the wrong direction. Might as well grease it up too

*Well I'm off to change it now, Absolutely hate taking off the intake and dealing with it, but must be done*

 

Obviously this was a good post! hahaha cause mine is in the mail and on the way to the house... I couldnt wait for a group by unfortunately...and by the sound of it, the intake is gonna be a pain... great!!

 

Dude. You gotta let us know if there is any difference in the way it runs.

 

I'm not sure now.... I stripped my turbo installing my Bypass valve.... I'm a bit tore up about it.

 

hahaha how did you manage that?

 

**** happens. Get a thread tap and fix it!

 

wait did you just do that when you went down to change its position?? .. and how does one strip the turbo? ... did you run a tool up against it or something?

 

It's aluminum- be careful not to cross thread/overtighten.

 

ahh.. ok.. are there any manuals that suggest a proper torque setting to the set screws? or is it just tighten to "snug"

 

Well good news,

My valve upside down didn't make much noise so I thought it was just there to get rid of the plastic and rubber pieces of the stock. Now that it's right side up it sounds much much better.

I must have over tightened it and when I untightened it it must have stripped. That's my guess.

 

Does the forge unit come with mounting bolts? That thing has a much thicker base than the stock BPV plate.

 

use the stock bolts

 

Mine didn't, but all is well. I fixed my bolt problem. I just bought a slightly longer bolt. Only the first part of the whole was stripped. Luckily the bolt is smaller than the hole (lol) and there was plenty of extra threading to use.

 

I dont suppose you took pictures of it in the wrong and right positions did ya? so when I get mine, I'll know what's what?
