Recirc valve for k24?

[Kingsford G]

Anyone changed a recirc valve on k24 turbo and what did you use?I`m suspecting mine is not doing the job as I can hear a funny noise on the boost and only boosting 15-16psi with MTE stage1 map.Also what boost should you have from MTE stage 1?I blocked the recirc valve pipe and the boost is now about 14psi.Looks like its a turbo off job on these the remove it.

There's a forge replacement valve, it's a pita but doable with the turbo on.

i have a forge one on my k24

There a forge copy one on eBay I was looking at.

I've got a forge actuator (gen) and forge copy recirc on mine, I posted before on your thread that the recircs split, esp if tuned

The big problem with fitting them is the hard pipe (not sure if it's oil or coolant) gets in the way of one of the bolts.

I`ve got a dump valve type of noise from s60 and kind of leaking noise from v70.Happy days lol

There's a thread on swedespeed about it, apparently it's easier removing the wastegate.

The dump valve noise will be a leak somewhere mate

I`ll see if I can borrow a boost leak tester kit,was going to buy one but paying out so much as it is.

If it sounds like a sneeze, it'll be one of the big pipes, if there's a bit of chatter, it'll be the pipe that feeds the recirc.

No bother.

do any other vehicles run the same turbo. That might have a cheaper/better value for money uprated item??

Pretty much porsche 911s a few audi's and s60rs etc that use k24

We're in good company then, even if the 911 is just an overgrown Beetle.

Did you see james may last week? Described the original black prototype beetle as "Darth Vader's Helmet" lol, did make me chuckle

Is the re circ not the same size across lots of turbos ?

The TD 04 Mitsubishi series share the same recirc but the K24 uses an internal valve.

Ref boost iirc mine was 14 psi standard and mte2 25 peak and steady 19-20psi
