In need of a new one. What would people recommend? I quite like the idea of the turbosmart duel port that does recirculating and atmospheric. Thoughts people. Thanks

That's what's on at the moment but it has rubbed through and now has a hole in it. It's bodged at the moment.
I was thinking of having a change.

My first Forge DV006 lasted about seven years and 200,000 miles - the (steel) allen screws seized in the aluminium body and the plastic piston had a groove worn in it where it seated against the body. However, it still worked OK. Mine also had a chunk worn out of it where it rubbed against the battery tray.
I replaced it with another DV006, but he later type, which has an aluminium piston for durability. I also angled it differently so that it isn't touching anything. If it lasts another 200,000 miles, I'll be satisfied
Forge is definitely the most popular upgrade and I'd say its the most reliable. You will need the softest spring though, after which, its a fit & forget item

When I had a recirc, I found that I made a tssssssssht noise with my mouth when changing gears! or dipping the clutch. So it had to go.

Yeah, it's only sat there doing nowt so you might as well. You can have my baileys but it needs sending off or a quadring sourcing for it to be 100%. Spen did say they could get one so if you mic it up and ring them it was about £2 quid for the bit.

When I had a recirc, I found that I made a tssssssssht noise with my mouth when changing gears! or dipping the clutch. So it had to go. I get a good flutter at the moment with the recirculating forge. I don't know if I want a noise change or not now. Generally with things such as this, it's the owners choice isn't it. I had a nice flutter on my inky plus, then I read stories about fluttering not being so good for the turbo so I made it recirc, then I decided that was too quiet, I can get quiet from my other car. So I went HKS copy, that was nice, more like a little birds chirp (aaaaah lovely). The one I have on at the moment is a forge atmos. For some reason this is the loudest I have ever heard, you can hear my gear changes a few miles in any direction .... so it'll need taming down a little. The wife get's embarrassed by it, probably why it's still on The good thing about these and probably why it interests me is that they are easy to change, so I feel like I am actually doing something useful mechanically, in reality that's a bluff, but there you go. I saw an online ad for a HKS black on eBay Turkey (it was a fleeting glance) and only 29TL (Turkish Lira), these go for £100+ in the UK. I might buy one and bring it home with me - 29TL is like £10.00 - wow!

My bailey is a venturi, it sounds like a sniper rifle! I got a forge atoms as I created myself an issue during a clutch change and a strip down of the valve that was in vein. The forge is very quiet compared to the trumpet and small exit on the venturi.

This one came on the car. I just converted it to recirculate yesterday. Best of both worlds, stealthy or remove one pipe from SIP and fit silicon endcap for maximum attention. 60 second job.

Ooops. Add 15-20 quid for the recirculating fitment, snag is 25mm fitting only available from Canada or U.S. I`m using the 29mm and AutoSiliconeHoses reducer.

Are they genuine though? That's the problem with ebay, so many snide products.

I think the older products are now cheap, the latest ones are like £250. Didn`t occur to me that these might be faked. I used to run a shop on ebay, and in about 950 transactions I had 5 rip offs. The rip offs are what stick in my mind! I have had an original Bosch fail, car sounded like a rally car but turbo got knackered. I also have a Bailey but I don`t want to sound like a bus.

I wouldn't trust one from ebay, fakes are rife and they are prone to failing. My fake is still going strong a few years on
