Forge 004 install

[KareemA4]

I'm thinking about getting the Forge 004 BOV and wanted to know how easy was the install?
Was it long?
Or should I just take it to my shop?

[Smiley]

Hardest part of the whole thing is the one time clamps...

if your prepared for that, then its a piece of cake

[edwardabodnar]

dont do it

[KareemA4]

yeah, i guess the shop will be easier
btw how long do you think ittl take to install?

[eurogruppe]

it took me like a half hour. lifted the front end up, took the belly pan off, ended up using a dremel to cut off those stupid one time clamps since there is like no space to get to the stock dv. But once u get it off, the install is pretty simple.

[KareemA4]

cool
thanks man, and how did it sound?

[dextrek]

dremel FTW!

x2 - except it took me about an hour or so - even with the dremel I couldn't get one of the clamps - had to use a combination of a dremel and tin snips. The clamps are easy to pop off if you can get a screwdriver under the tab, but one of mine was oriented behind the hose form my angle, so I couldn't pop it.

i actually replaced it with a Forge 007. its alright, i kinda want a BOV now

[KareemA4]

Same thing here, mine were oriented in the most ridiculous ways that I couldn't get a screw driver anywhere near where it had to be. Guy at the local shop charged me $30 and it was done in about 5 minutes.

[KareemA4]

how did it sound on a tip?

[Exanimas]

I have the 007, not the 004, so I can't really comment. You can still hear mine slightly, so I'm assuming the 004 will be a lot louder.

You boys need to learn how to man-handle those one time clamps..

Com'on if a little girl can rip them off with a screwdriver.. You can!

Yes I am talking mad shit right now!!! Haha anyway!! I have the splitter- its the hybrid between bov and dv! you should think about that..

Thats awesome.......shes getting on ure case guys

[Molotov]

seriously if you plan on modding this car get used to taking a screw driver to those 1 time clamps. After a couple you'll be able to do it in 5 seconds max

I guess if I had little girly hands I could have reached around behind the hose to snap the tab. But, since I don't have magic Princess Power I just had to "man-handle" them as you appropriately call it...

If anyone needs a 007 or a 004 let me know!

And install is plug and play after you get that clamp off.

[aaaudiprotein]

yeah, plug and play for Forge 004, had it for 6 months before switched back to 007

why did you switch back to the 007?

[aaaudiprotein]

why did you switch back to the 007?

i got a vacuum leak, but before i found out about that i thought that my 004 was causing some problems. It was fine though.
i think i got one in a trunk, let me know if u ar interested.

[trueno429]

those one time clamps were a bitch!
lovin my splitter though

[coowhip]

Get your knuckles dirty and scratched up and do it yourself! Pair of pliers and twist those puppies off. Takes 30 minutes and you'll appreciate it a lot more when you do it yourself. Hybrid DV/BOV is next for me. Love my 007 BUT i would occasionally like some sound!
