I just got my new valve, fitted it easily and sounds great. If you have an LCR with a BMC CDA and a 007p then get this valve and you will be smiling!

It's a semi blow off valve, it recirc's some air so the ecu is happy and then makes a dump valve noise. Depends if you like the noise or not. It's not as loud as the jap cars but it's enough to be happy with.
The small vac hose goes in the right hand side, i don't know if the standard hose would have fitted but i changed mine to blue silicone hoses a while ago and didn't have enough slack on the hose, so £5 later at motorwold i had enough hose. I'll get a pic in a minute to show how it fits.
yeah mate that would be great
there is no direct bespoke silicon/samco/forge replacement for the vac hose that i know of. unless we have wired crossed, i mean the 3-4mm diameter hose that plugs in top of bosch/007p which is moved to the side on the splitter

Yeah i bought a length of silicone hose off ebay to change it.
Here's the pics:

cheers rich, i see what you've done, you've replaced the original vac line from the d/v
have to cross this bridge when i get to it if the original line is stretched to fit the splitter
can you pm me a pic of your entire engine mate without the cover on, no rush, maybe when you've cleaned it
cheers

I'll take a pic for you tomorrow after i've cleaned it (weather pending) so i'll post it on Saturday. Any particular part of my engine bay you want?
RikH - I've fitted mine with the standard vac hose and it is a bit of a stretch but does go on. If you do fit it to the standard hose make sure you do the top adjustment first because when adjusted once fitted it twists the hose too. Then it does become a stretch!
richybigman - How much adjustment did you need?

I just turned it a few times until i thought it was right, there was no rattling on mine so turned it just to make sure.
they say two full turns at idle until the rattle disappears, so did you do the turns before you fitted it to the car then fitted it on
or ran it at idle with the vac line off but the valve fitted
Yeah same here. First time i was loosing boost so another 1/2 turn and all is good. Very happy with the sound and no lights on the dash so far. Think Forge have got this one right!
