The Forge should arrive today in fact. I plan to install it this weekend. But that ius easy, just a couple hose clamps.
I do not expect any change or difference in peformance between the Forge By-pass valve (BPV) and the stoch Bosch BPV. I am upgrading to the Forge BPV because I plan to install an upgraded Engine Control Unit (ECU) in a month or so. The Forge BPV will handle the higher boost presure of the upgraded ECU better than the stock Bosch BPV. So this is just part of an on-going upgrade program for my 1998 900SET.
