JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHO DID IT AND RESULTS, GOOD OR BAD.ALSO IF I WERE TO RUN THIS PISTON STYLE ALUMINUM DV in reverse, i should use the green spring correct.
Green spring when in STOCK orientation (saab already has it backwards by default)
Yellow spring when running it reverse (changes sound)
I have mine in the stock setup so I dont get unwanted boost leaks. When you run it in reverse of the stock setup the pressure pushes directly on the piston.. so if you do not have a boost guage its hard to make sure the spring is holding without leaks... but it does make the "blow off sound" a little more punchy.. There is no preformance benefits to running it this way... and with a tune.. it would be best to run it stock direction as it can handle more pressure this way.
Well my psi is only about 6,from what i heard about the v6.your stock boost is like 20psi lucky motha.i have`nt recieved my dv in the mail yet,but hoping to get a little bit more dump sound.so reversing isn`t the way to go?
Under 6 psi of boost you should be fine running it in reverse with the green spring as it is rated to about 12 psi. It should give you a louder sound considering you have the lower pressure turbo to start with. I have never heard the forge on a v6.. but paired with an open air intake.. it should sound a lot better than stock. When I installed it on my car I tried it both ways.. Like i said while it was louder facing backwards from stock... I was worried about boost leaks so I just left it facing the stock direction.. but in your situation the green spring should be fine.. You could also try the yellow one just to be safe.. if you hear the turbo sputter when you let off of the boost, you know the spring rating is too high. If you have any other questions just let me know.
Well i have installed the dv yesterday in the normal stock position,and the dv sound was more pronounced .of course i was after a little more sound so i reversed it and,it wasn`t louder at all for me,turbo spool,and dump off sound .it sounded best, and louder in stock position,on the v6.its funny because all the ones in reverse sound pretty good,on those youtube vids,guess i`ll switch back tomorrow.
