I wonder why it didn't show on the knock LEDs then...

Check it out.. looks a lot like my dyno graph huh?

Turns out I put the diverter valve in backwards.. I seem to have an issue with installing things backwards huh? Honest mistake seeing as the valve didn't come with instructions and on Forges website they have instructions for installing on a vehicle that comes with a factory bosch recirc valve.. so no help there. I installed it in the most logical way I thought.. but anyway what is happening is the valve was opening and then closing.. which is why my boost/horsepower was fluctuating so greatly..

Great results guys. Now I need to dyno my stock by summer just to have a baseline for possible future mods.

hey, you guys need to add your charts to the dyno registry!!!

I'll add my next chart.. this one is horrible cuz of the boost issue.. I flopped that recirc valve around today and she boosts hella quicker.. more responsive.. I'll get back to the dyno in a week or two.

the forge website says that you can install it either way, and also, from the link that you just posted

"The function and sole job of the dv is to maintain an air-tight seal during acceleration, and remain open at all other intervals. It's as simple as that.

No matter which way you install it, there is pressure that's going to try to open up the spring and release air."

i dont see how a bov could work both ways. inside of there is going to be a spring and a valve. if you installed it one way, the spring would push against the boost to try to keep it shut, but the amount of boost it would hold would depend on the springs tension. after a certain psi, they would leak boost.

if you install it the other way, then the boost would help seal the valve and it could hold any amount of boost. the spring would be there to help assist it keeping it closed under minor changes in vac or at idle.

i would install it the 2nd way myself, unless you know exactly how much boost that bov was designed to hold.
