Yep, use the spring it already had installed. I tried both. Went back to the lighter spring. I've been running the Forge for a few months now, and it's great. I suspect you'll have to lube it at least once a year. You'll know if it needs it. You'll start getting surge.

I will be shipping yours out today.

 

Awesome...thanks a bunch!

 

Gimme Gimme LOL

Thanks for the effort on this man

 

I first off want to thank gdubs for doing this for us and doing it all so quickly. And thanks to Forge for letting this happen and making such a beautiful and sweet product.

I received mine yesterday (I didn't get home until late so I couldn't install it right away) and installed it today; took 10 minutes. It really is a beautiful piece and is certainly well made.

Like what was said before, it releases the pressure a little differently... it lets it out a little longer. It might be a little louder but I really can't tell. It's just noticeably longer.

I know a lot of you are wondering how the stock one's look as they come out and what mileage is on them... so here is mine. I have 31,000 miles on it and about 24,000 miles are tuned pushing 21 PSI. I drive pretty spiritedly and hit full boost many times a day. It looks pretty new still. No tears or anything. It worked flawlessly while it was installed... but I'm always upgrading

On with the pics of the STOCK BPV (Again, this has 31,000 miles on it and 24k were tuned):

 

Can't wait! Thanks a lot Geoff!

If the weather stays like it is lately I may have to put it on sooner than later haha.

 

Whoo Hoo! Mine's shipped!

 

yay mine too! haha

 

I got mine today!

 

my mom took mine and wrapped it and i was getting pissed because i didnt know where it was and she had it hid lol

 

Thanks for those pics..still looks like new.

 

thats kinda messed up yet funny as hell

 

I'm kinda mad I didn't find out bout this till it was over

 

i asked her liek 3 times if i got a package and she kept saying no then i asked again today and she was like how big is it and i said not very big ad shes like i might have wrapped it lol

 

Yayz, Bpv luv for us canadiens.

 

I dont wanna sound like a ricer, but I floored it last night and my car definately felt a bit quicker than normal I wanna say im building boost faster than I did with the stock bpv?!?! so I making alittle bit of power in areas of my curve that I might of been missing out on?!?!? I dunno does this sound crazy?

 

crazy hot!

Got mine last night

 

Thanks gdubs

 

Mine arrived this morning at my work.

Thanks gdubs! Go find us something else awesome to group buy!

Also, my cubemate's exhaust or something showed up today for his Evo X GSR. I don't have the heart to tell him he'll still lose...from a roll.

 

same here man

 

Interesting..the only way it could be faster is what you have said. What was the condition of the stocker? Sorry, but the only thing I can see is that it *may* hold boost a bit longer when lifting (going into vacuum)..and that might not be a good thing, since ya wanna dump boost quickly to avoid surge (which can damage the turbo long term). I'm not saying you're wrong on this, just my take. BTW, my boost comes on very quickly with stocker.

 

whats the estimated ship day for the rest of us?

 

Check the front page. If ur canada I don't have an estimate. When I get them I will ship them asap.

 

got mine today thanks again

 

so will you hear the forge bpv w/o having to buy an intake? or do you still need an intake to hear it?
