Forge BPV question? Green Blue or Yellow Spring? No red?

Ok just put mine on and did a test run. My Pinged very loud to say the least. I upped the boost back and not only does it Ping now but the blowoff is loud as hell as well (lol I though I blew the hose off).

I'm currently running the blue spring with both shims in place. I might need to go to the Red Spring but not sure. Patty is there anyway to get a Red Spring sent to those that didn't get one? I got a Green, Yellow and Blue only.

So far I love it. Running 19PSI the Ping is loud as well as the air releaseing. Oh and my Blue Spring dropped in just like the rest. I didn't have to force it in or anything.

After messing around with it, I deffinately got a crap blue spring...the other two springs just drop right in. The Blue, I have to jam the hell out of it to get it to fit...

If you are running factory boost you should be fine. Just put in the yellow spring with both Shims. They should send replacements for your blue and our missing red springs.

If you're running boost, then turn it down to factry and run the yellow one with shims.

I'm going to toss the yellow one in tomorrow morning, and hopefully it works...But I would still like a receive a blue spring that fits, and a red one...
 
O.K. so what's the verdict on a mostly stock speed 3? I'm adding TBE and FMIC. Do I go w/blue or blue w/shims or what??

Thanks!
 
I would go straight up Blue on Stock or Yellow with 2 shims. Its your call. I think I might be getting surge with mine at Blue with 2 Shims, but I'm boosting 19PSI.
 
Oh just another question. How tight did you tighten the top of your BPV and did you use a wrench to tighten it or just your hands?
 
I used my hands to tighten...I dropped in the yellow one today...I'm getting some sound but it is really faint...Not as loud as everybody elses...
 
your bpv will be way louder with intake. I just installed my intake the other day and it's way louder. It's very quiet with stock box..

Mine holds boost so well now. When I'm doing 80MPH I'm running dead 0 boost. I just tap the gas in 6th and I'm at 10PSI.

I might go down a shim or both even though I'm running 19PSI. I'm not sure if I'm getting low boost flutter from the valve or surge.

The only time I get any flutter is if I'm in 5th or 6th gear at less than 50 with low boost.

It feels a lot better now though, and it slams in 6th :)
 
Ok, so check my signature for my current and coming mods. What spring do I use? no MBC or MAP Clamp.
 
Im running stock boost. I started with the yellow realized it was to weak went to the blue liked it much better. Then went to red LOVED it but got some surge. Final set up for me is blue+1 shim. :)
