Title: Blow off valve problems
Post by: w33gry on October 16, 2013, 09:18:09 am

So yesterday I got my 3@ downpipe and decat fitted to my golf and also put on my forge blow off valve but it seems to be going off at soon as the turbo kicks in even though my foot is still planted. It doesn't do it when I take my foot off like I would've expected. Any advice would be appreciated it's a 55plate mk5 gti 2005 I think

Any videos? 
Maybe your spring in the Dv has had it or not sealing properly
Get a clip up and may help budddy

I'll try get a video in the dry, right now as soon as I put foot down I'm just spinning. Forgot to say it's an atmospheric forge blow off valve

Not a spacer plate?

The blow off valve from forge was proven to lose power wasn't it? Apart from the obvious unattractive noise it makes why don't you just stick with OEM?
