Title: Forge spacer to keep or not
Post by: vag12 on September 02, 2012, 11:23:10 pm

Just fitted the forge spacer and to honest don't see much difference with it, there is only a slight added sound at the release of the pedal and at times feels a little sluggish, does the spacer reduce performance? And am not sure about this one but mpgs seem down too does everything seem right or wrong?

its like slashing your boost pipe......

Instead of the air be re-circ'd its being released.... less air...means less BANGS = reduced performance... (+ increased turbo lag)

Revo had a print out somewhere discussing this.

take it off mate  :happy2:

Yeah remove it mate.
I tried one and felt exactly the same ie more lag after gear changes etc.
REMOVE IT

Power loss? Well that's suprising forge making products that make you lose performance, il take if off,
What did you mean by less bangs mate?
