    Anyone using external recirc valves?

    I was wondering what spring pressure (if you've measured it) the piston opens?

    I have mine set up and it seems to be running fine, -0.8bar, just musing for more info as I might try it lower but it involves a fair bit of fiddling!

    I'm using a Forge Motorsport recirc valve with the stock spring removed and a yellow one in it's place.

    What do you mean by external? Do you mean seperate to the turbo? IE, the oe recirc valve blanked off and a seperate valve? If so, ignore my post.

    I'm not sure how else it can be interpreted, lol. Yes external from the turbo, i.e. not built in-to the compressor cover and not stock.
