Question for 007P owners

[chicken_eyebrow]

Fitted my 007P from Awesome last night after selling my Split-R, no fault codes yet and no boost leaks as far as I can see but on the way to work this morning I noticed it makes an annoying metallic pinging noise if you come off the throttle at high boost. Is this normal? :S

My one does exactly the same. You should hear it with a CAI.

[VRS Mike]

mine doesn't

[chicken_eyebrow]

Did anyone elses come lubed up with some kind of red grease?

Mine sounds like a chavvy dump valve off a Cossie at the moment... hopefully the noise will go away

[banzaiman]

Yep i got the red lube, I love the noise but then again i did have a scooby with an HKS SSQV valve on

[Bertee]

Mine came packed with red grease, doesn't sound too chavvy though :no:

[David 8]

That doesn't sound right tbh.

A little psst sound, but not a ping, and the psst is louder with the windows shut.

I'm wondering if it's coz its a new design. Some of you guys like Dave have had them for years but the one I got is an Awesome branded one (though made by Forge) and I think they only started producing those earlier this year. It sounds like the piston is hitting something inside the valve when it releases (maybe it just needs more grease :yes: )

[VRS Mike]

mine is about a month old and all I get is a pppppppppssssssssssttttttttttt noise

[vrs180]

The grease is coloured red to show its compatible with rubber seals, which is a "world wide" industry standard.

My 007P is no more noisey than the OEM DV.

I have had mine about 2 months and it doesn’t make a ping just the normal dump valve sound. As mentioned above its easier to hear with the window shut.

Mine was from AmD, it has Forge and AmD on it, when I bought it they did say that they had only just started getting them in with their logo on. I didn't get any lube with mine though??

[SideshowBob]

I think mine's got the yellow spring. When it was first fitted it was a bit abrupt in its action, for example when you shut the throttle you would get a slight surge before it vented. After a few thousand miles it has settled in and is very smooth in its operation. Haven't ever heard the noise you're referring to, all I get is a 'psst' noise which is pretty quiet even with the PiperX panel fitted.

Bought mine from Forge June 08', loads of red grease on inside, never been aware of any "pinging" sounds tho.

[chicken_eyebrow]

You know what, I think it might be fitted the wrong way round

Just looked at a thread about it on SCN

I didn't bother to look on the fitting instructions on the Forge site just fitted it the same way as my Split-R was fitted. Looks like that's wrong, and it has to go the same way as the OEM valve

ha ha ha, that'll be the reason why

Sorry but .....................

That noise is awful lol, I tried mine the other way round once, I didn't even make it out of the street, I went back to the drive and switched round

[chicken_eyebrow]

That'll teach me to look at the Forge site instead of using the fitting instructions from a different valve!

To anyone else whose is pinging... you've got it the wrong way round!

I've had the annoying 'ping' noise for years now, tbh i'm used to it now. My car has a few running issues tho so i've always put it down to this.

When i first got my forge i had read that it can be fitted either way round, but there was some sort of benifit to having backwards (i can't remember what it is now tho) so i fitted it backwards. Sure enough after reading this i've just been outside and swapped mine around and it no longer 'PINGS'. I can't believe i never thought of it before.

I'm curious to know how many people have the same issue?

:rofl:

FAIL

[VRS Mike]

people say its louder if you put it on backwards????

[oggy]

If I'd seen this thread earlier I would have suggested that It was fitted the wrong way round .

There was a stage a year or two ago where folks were swapping them the wrong way round, so I gave It a go. TBH I thought the car didn't seem to run as well & I swapped It back to how It should be.

Louder Yes, but its a bad louder, more like a shreik that a psst lol

+1

I also fitted mine in reverse a year back and that noise was awful.
