fitted my new forge Piston Recirculating Valve, change out some gaskets on the intercooler and swapped the normal clamps for some uprated ones for a more air tight fit

and wow what a differants :woohoo:
was having some issuse with what i thought was tubo spooling nosie (which clearly was'nt) and did'nt feel like i was boosting right
well thats all gone and the beast is back and kicking :banana: - happy out cant wait for the other mods to go on then and my map tweek :bling:

if your going to fit the forge on to the foz with the sti intercooler you will need a impreza bypass valve and the connecting pipe as the one of the foz is not wide enough for the valve

What were the 'uprated clips' that you fitted Coops ? Mine just has the normal jubilee clips on all the hoses etc.

You could've just hit the stock valve with a hammer. Works an absolute charm.

Course you've got to know how hard to hit.....

Reminds me of the story of the old print engineer that retired. A few months down the line, he gets an urgent call asking him to return as the printer has broken down. He goes in, and looks over the whole machine, then puts a chalk cross on one particular part of the machine, and tells them the problem is there. They remove the panel and the old man is correct, the machine is fixed.
The man sends them an invoice for £25,000.
A few days later the old man receives a call asking him to give a breakdown of the work done, as they can't quite understand the cost.
He sends them a breakdown which reads:
Piece of chalk : £1
Knowing where to put the chalk cross: £24,999
:biggrin:

Sounds like the 'turbo spooling noise' (there being no such thing a turbo makes a noise when pumping whether its 'spooling' or not!) was an airleak......
