[vrspeedemon]

[mglavina]

The say the best valve is the stock one haha

 

[SMOKEYS36SHOP]

heh mine too. first day i got DH was specifically to check boost hold is how i found out. luckily leaking stock BPVs were rare.
most ppl just change em for sound, i dont blame em i like the sounds too. LOL!

well after my morning update someone has left me a good scuff on my front bumper... not sure when or where it happened but it did(sadbanana)

Drove my speed6 around in the rain today. She was so happy after taking a nap for 2 weeks. She kept taunting me to do drifts.

I did not experience any difference in psi between the two, but stocker just seems smoother to me.
Now when I installed my tip I lost about 2psi of boost and also lost the "Ching" noise from the forge, not sure why...the butt dyno says it spools quicker and pulls harder though???

 

[vrspeedemon]

are you selling your bpv? ....

I may sell it?
Really only had it for the sound, but since the Ching went bye bye.
It's a first gen forge in black.

 

[Worbit]

ill pass, I just sold my v1 forge myself lol....

 

[mglavina]

Just wondering, what are you guys running for boost? How many pounds? I've read tones of different numbers online and I don't have a boost gauge lol... It would be nice to hear what everyone is running. I wonder what is too much, not enough and jussssssssst right.

 

[Tungsten6]

15.6 (wink)

 

[Qwik6]

20 (naughty)

 

[batou079]

15.6 is the stock PSI the car is LISTED to hold.
typically a stock tuned car wont really hold that consistantly... i usually see 15.4 held.

initial WOT spike goes to about 18.

 

[Tungsten6]

w.e im stock and dont have a boost gauge so dont ask me lol

 

[Qwik6]

^your more like 0psi

 

[zinger002]

his dads car may be 15.6, his is vac, so give us a mmHG number lol.

I hold 19psi in 2-4, dont usually go wot in 1st, 18psi in 5th, and 17psi in 6th. weather dependent.

 

[batou079]

yikes, you and taylor hold that high of boost, and arent worried? dont think you need forged internals?
