Forge 007p service,

[D.K]

I recently acquired a second hand Forge 007p DV,
Before fitting I decided to do a pressure test on it as recommended by Forge, it showed that the DV was not holding full pressure very well and some times not holding at all, So after checking Forge's site I ordered there DV service kit
http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=0006&product=FMDVSK
The kit contains 3 new seal's, a packet of grease and a new piston

Now I'm sure exactly how old the DV is or if it has ever been serviced, but when I opened it up this was the state of the piston

You can see in the picture the wear marks from where the piston moves up and down but if you rub your finger over it you can feel how much it is worn, which could cause boost leaks.

For the sake of £13 and about 30 Min's work it's well worth doing

How long has the valve been used?

I rekon i will be doing the same to mine plus gettin the stronger spring too

How long has the valve been used?

The guy I got it from had the car for about 2 years and it was on the car when he got it.
For ge recomend to do a pressure check once a year and fit the kit if needed.

Darren, it took you 30 mins to service your 007

Well I was allowing for removale and re fitting to the car

sorry going off topic a wee bit but just wondered does the 007p actually improve anything ie. throttle response or is it just more robust than the original? cheers callum

Maybe 30 mins at a push then

Not realy, just more reliable (never seam to go wrong).

im getting one for mine at the end of the month from JKM seems like a good idea to get one

what is this green spring yellow spring i keep hearing about with them?

 

[Damoegan]

The spring inside the valve that controlls the piston.


Green spring for standard car/stage 1 mapped car, yellow spring for stage 1/ stage 2 mapped cars.

 

[RS6]

right so when you order one should i go for a yellow spring? it will be standard for a bit though

i plan a remap and intercooler at some point not far off

 

[Damoegan]

What car is it going on? LCR?

 

[RS6]

Seat Leon Cupra R 210

 

[Damoegan]

I'd get the yellow spring then mate.

 

[Gooner_Mike]

I have yellow spring with a Stage 1 remap!

 

[cupra.al]

im still running standard spring on stage two remap with no problems,bill at badger5 said the uprated spring wasnt needed for stage two but ill probally change the spring for a stronger one when i service the dv.

 

[wayne lcr]

i thought it was green spring standed and yellow for a remapped car i wouldent like to think there was a too stronger spring in the dv that will cause damage to the turbo

 

[traumapat]

Ideally you want to get away with as soft a spring as you can. Id stick to green unless you actually get problems

what colour spring do you use? probally quite a strong one looking at your sig.

 

[RS6]

right i'll stick to green then until it needs changing? how much is the spring if you need it changed?
