Forge Splitter DV

**got boost.** · 07-07-2008 05:35 PM

I installed the forge splitter the other day took me a couple hours to pry off the permanant clamps on the oem one. I even broke the oem valve in piece just to get it off.

After i installed the valve i hear some clicking noise near the valve area maybe i broke something? is it normal?

o yea love the sound of the splitter way better than the 007.

Couple of hours just for the clamps??? I know they are a PITA but dang...

I'm running the Forge Splitter DV and I don't have the clicking noise you're talking about.

...and I have to agree, the sound is great!

Took me a few hours and I still couldn't get them, so I took it to a shop down the road and had some guy do it in about 5 minutes for $30. Seems lame, I know, but apparently I'm not much of a DIYer on cars.

it took me 15 minutes to install the 007 on my old B5. i was going to give up and bring it to a shop but i want the piece of mind knowing that i install everything that i can.

by the time i put on my splitter i had already done an R1 in the past so i just had to take off the removable hose clamps

Is the clicking like a flutter? maybe it's just adjusted tight enough

not really sure what you mean by flutter. its like the sound you get when you click a pen but louder. i didnt adjust it at all i jsut put it in the way i got it.

lol, i just cutted the whole hose (like 1cm from the valve) and placed the splitter on that, and just smacked on a new clam. took me about 36.2seconds.
