what spring forge DV 008

[speedfreak123]

Hi im running my mk 4 cupra 20vt on a revo stage 1 map with a green panel cotton and forge dv 008, its currently got the green spring in it but was wondering if i would benefit from putting the yellow spring in? Im not 100% sure on what boost its running approx 1.1-1.4 bar according to the mapper. Thanks

Ohhhhh, shiney! I stand corrected....

No need for shims. The spring just holds a little more boost and stops the DV opening early. As yours is mapped, it won't be a problem. Only issue is putting too stiff a spring in there when its not been mapped as it'll cause the turbo to stall.

Ok cheers mate, i will pop the yellow one in and run it for a bit see how it goes. I went for the black one but kind of wish i got the gunmetal colour now

Good choice, I like the black. It'll blend in more.

True! Less chance of getting spotted by the insurance man if i should ever have an accident lol

ive been running stage two map and the standard spring for over a year with no problems,i keep meaning to changing the spring but i dont see the point as the standard spring is having no negative effect.

What BHP you running? How much boost? Does boost tail off noticeably at the top end?

no idea on the bhp,im running about 23/24psi if i remember right and the boost does drop off a fair amount at the top but i believe its a normal amount to be honest i think it drops to roughly 18psi might be more though i dont really watch the boost guage much.

PSI will drop off as the turbo runs out of puff towards the redline! Stiffer spring might hold a little more maybe?

Does the 008 come with the springs and clips? I've just ordered one.

 

[speedfreak123]

Comes with everything you need mate green spring already inside it plus u get a sticker and a flash keyring lol

 

[Trigg]

Sweet Does it come with yellow spring aswel? Flashing keyring lol. Is it better than the 007? I've ordered forge coldside relocation kit and the new badger-5 3"/80mm TIP
