BOV replacement: Forge Motorsports

Was tired of the sticking, overboost, etc. of the stock bypass valve.

Purchased an aftermarket replacement. Do I really need to point out which one is stock and which is aftermarket?





Took minutes to install. The spring pictured is an extra they send with, I left the one in as assembled...a tad stiffer.

Will report back after a week of driving. 80 miles daily and a 9 hour trip beeing done on Saturday.

Welcome Silver Sled, to the site. If the stock one isn't working right, your SS will have little go.

JJ, give us a review in a few days I run mine a lot too. Hoping that will fix the variable boost syndrome .
