forge bpv o ring messed up PICS INSIDE!!

[ms6acton]

so i bought this bpv used from a member and i got it a few weeks ago. i havent been holding boost (spiking 15ish holding 12-13) i went to go change the spring out yesterday and try a different combo and when i unscrewed the top i noticed the o ring was now a c ring. and the reason it took me so long to change the spring since i got it is because i had surgery last tuesday and havent driven the car since yesterday.

anyone kno where i can get a o ring that size? and its pretty bad to buy broken stuff

Get it right from forge USA. with something like that you want to make sure you use the exact piece.

yea i just emailed them. just sucks that i even have to ):

Your best bet would be to take a trip to your local hardware store and they can measure the ID, OD and wall thickness of the O-Ring and give you a perfect replacement. I could almost guarantee it'll be cheaper too. With something like an O-Ring, you are dealing with such a universalized industry, it is difficult to go wrong.

Just my $.02

Agreed, it wont be hard to find one at a well stocked hardware store. Or, better yet, check on McMasterCarr.

Contact patty at forge via PM if you can as well.

When you do get the info for the O-ring, post it up. There are plenty of guys running that BPV, so I'm sure this will be a common problem at some point.

yea ill shoot patty a pm, and also check out home depot tongiht. once i figure everything out ill post it up

I had the same problem with mine. Forge did come through with a new one for me, when I put it on the second time I put a couple of dabs of silicone (very small) in the groove to keep it in place. That worked great.
