Just wondering what color springs people are using. Green is obviously the one that's recommended, and is what my "friend" will be using, but I know that some people here are using either blue or yellow. And someone correct me if I'm wrong, I think I remember someone saying they used red. However, that's for a 30+ psi application apparently, and I believe Forge recommends not using a red spring with ANY of their diaphragm type valves.

 

Im using the red and a spacer only because the valve is installed backwards so they tend to leak boost unless you have the stiffest spring in there but if your gonna install it normally then the green spring is all you will need

 

Why do you have it installed backwards?

 

it becomes audible with an intake during shifts like a BOV...learned it from my VW buddies that have been using the Forge forever

 

Ahhh I see. So which way is backwards?

 

the long side of the piping goes down and the short side goes to the left towards the passenger side

 

So normal is the other way around correct?

 

yup

 

Actually, the above I have found to be incorrect. If you look at your bypass valve, the port where you can stick your finger in and compress the spring is the "in" side. That side should be feeding into (or should I say being "fed by") the hose going to the throttle body. So if anyone was wondering this same thing, that's the way you should install it.

Simplyscion, you actualy have it installed the correct way instead of backwards. Haha.

 

I run mine the same as simplyscion. Never had any issues.

 

Hey Jake I work in Dallas off of 75 and Northwest Hwy. You ever in that area or do you meet up with scion peeps around Dallas? Just wondering cause would like to see how you car drives with S/C.....

 

I use red as well, works the best with upped boost

 

Hey jrowe, I pm'd you.

 

I'd put the stiffest you have in there

 

Oopsies

 

Are you running stock boost?

 

Yep (no plans whatsoever on going more). But with a stiffer spring isn't it harder for the vacuum to open the valve between shifts?

 

I'd do the blue. You'll be fine. The red is rated for like 25psi and it opened perfect on 9lbs for me, lol.
