weird noise forge 007p diverter valve

[mattfas]

hi al i recently bought a forge 007p diverter valve i put it on the other day in place of the bosch plastic one i took the car for a test drive to see if all was ok when i let off the throttle the 007p makes a weird ping noise when blowing off it works fine but is this normall i thought they was meant to be silent i installed the valve the way the standard bosch one was fitted.cheers

Sounds like you have it fitted in reverse (small vac hose coming off the side and not over the top) - which is fine.

yea you fitted it in reverse. I had fitted the way forge told me but reversed it to make it make that ping noise.

 

[antzleoncupra]

yea mate. You have it on in reverse. I fitted mine how forge instructed me too but reversed it to get that ping noise

reversed 007p

will fitting it the wrong way round damage the turbo or the valve or cause any damage in general.thanks

 

[wisejason]

no mate... you just get a crap ping/ting sound.

if you ask Forge Im pretty sure they will say that's reverse and what you guys call reverse is the correct way around ;P

Here we go again

I'd personally run it in reverse to

same, not only becuase of the noise i guess, but did any of you notice that the pipe that goes onto the top of the DV was rubbing badly against the engine cover when installed the way the pictures show above? That why i reversed mine, and dont mind the chink noise, my mates love it lol
