My Experience with Bypass Valves
Last night I changed out my Forge Motorsport 007P for a Perrin Signature Series Blow Off Valve both are recirculating valves. The Forge valve made a the stupidest sound i've ever heard. It's sounds like a hammer hitting an anvil. It drove me nuts it seemed to work just as it should but I couldn't stand the noise it made. I was fortunate enough to findan old Perrin BOV forsale on a local board. Man!! this thing sounds way better just a slight woooosh noise. I just wanted to give a brief review of these.. The Forge valve works well but sounds like ass.. Perrin works well and sounds like sex with Alison Armitage.

Why not just get a bosch valve if your recirculating? I hear those are pretty reliable and cheap to boot.

videos of both now please; I don't read books, I listen to the CD.

Install the valve the other way around and it won't make that sound.

+1 I find the Bosch valve sound great...plus getting a hookup from a tech @ Audi even sweetened the deal...OP do you have any sound clips?

too late.. it was installed per the "destructions" and it failed..
The 007 is a direct replacement for the valves used on the VAG 1.8T, so I don't know what instructions you are referring to. Which happens to be the Bosch 25mm valve. The OEM unit is installed on the 1.8Ts with boost entering the side port and exiting the bottom, this is how the 007 should be installed. The face of the piston on the 007 is concave, the sound you are hearing is air whistling across this depression. The valve will work either way but it will make that sound if you install it with boost entering the bottom. There is a huge group amongst the VAG guys that install them "reversed" for the sound... Regardless, we offer a lifetime satisfaction guarantee so if you aren't happy, which you obviously aren't, you can return it for a refund. Even though, from what I can tell, you had the thing installed "wrong". |
I vote for a reinstall with video comparison.

I just got home and opened up the valve. It appears to be missing one of the O-Rings. Correct me if i'm worng but it should have two in the main body and one sealing the top?
This service PDF shows an 006 so it might be different. http://www.forgemotorsport.com/valve_service.pdf |
