Forge VENTED bypass valve vta

I've read a lot of not so good reviews on this little guy, but decided to try it anyways.

Honestly, I love it. It gives you the signature blow off sound without changing the charge pipes. I've had no problem with flutter or surge like ive read everywhere. I'm running stock tune so I don't have any imput on higher boost, but it releases 15psi like a champ. I was expecting to throw a CEL until I got around to getting tuned, but I haven't seen one after three weeks of having it installed.

If anyone is interested I can post videos of it once I get home this weekend, just let me know.

Yup we've got these in stock, run one on our personal Cobalt SS too. Sounds great, super loud and it's like a 15 min swap if you take off your intake.

It's recommended that you run it with a Trifecta tune as they have a lot of experience tuning for them, but I have had reports that they work with other tunes ok too.

We're also about $20-$25 cheaper than Forge direct when you figure in the shipping they charge you while we have free shipping on top of selling these cheaper

We found a few vendors that were selling these below MAP and Forge has dealt with them accordingly. BNR is selling these as cheap as forge will let us.

How would the Forge Motorsports Atmospheric BPV work with an HHR SS with the GM Stage kit?

Would I need a re-tune?

You'll still need a retune.
