I have a problem...I installed a Forge Diverter valve on to my 2001 Saab 9-5 and now my engine light is on and my TCS is on. and sometimes it doesnt idle... any ideas? personally i think maybe something got sucked up the pipe?
Ifanyone can help me with this i really appreciate this. Thank you
- Maybe you broke a vaccum line while installing - try replacing the hose that is attached to your valve.
- To be clear, did you fit a By-Pass Valve that releases back into the intake system? Or did you fit an atmospheric release? With a quick internet search on "forge diverter valve" it seems that you have installed the correct type of valve....provided that all of the ends are connected...
Yeah i was thinking that one of the pipe was broken. i was gonna try to replace the vacuum line cause it doesnt look like its in good condition. thanks
But im pretty sure i place it right in the right position
do you know where i can go and buy a vacuum line?
Oh yeah when i took out the vacuum line there was a rubber thing that goes around it at the end that goes into the turbo. that piece broke could that be a problem you think?
The vacuum line is the 4mm rubber hose that connects to the small metal barb on the end of the By-Pass Valve.
The pipe with the O-ring "rubber thing" is the By-Pass Pipe. It inserts into theTurbo Inlet Pipe.
You should replace the O-ring. Just buy an assortment of large sizes at the Hardware Store.
Your problem is likely a broken vacuum line as they get brittle with age. You can buy 4mm silicone vacuum hose at nearly any automotive supply store. The entire engine bay only requires 8 ft of hose, so buy 8 ft and replace all the old hose you can find.
I just put a Forge diverter in my 2001 9-5. Made a difference. I also ordered new 4mm silicon vacuum tubing and a connecting hose. The original vacuum line was brittle and falling apart.
Better throttle response and the boost holds better and consistently. The old stock Bosch unit had a torn diaphram. I could have put a new Bosch unit in, but I thought I might as well upgrade.
ok i replaced the o-ring and the vacuum hose/line. still does the same response.
still doesnt idle..
it idles only when i rev up the engine but if not it just doesnt idle any ideas?
but
The turbo gauge isnt responding like it was sopose too. it starts in the middle and rarely goes up and down. when i rev it up
I think it has to do something that got sucked up. cuz i rememebr something fell into it like clay or something? could it be that? if yes how do you get it out?

yeah i know im a stupid idiot for doing it but well yeah it fell into the part that is right connected to the turbo
i thought if i cover the hole it would be fine cuz i seen an instruction video on how to install? but i guess that idiot was wrong. but i use the the clay that turned into steel to cover it and it didnt work so i had chizzle it out
Alright thx i wish someoene could come up and help me :roll:
