New to site and MINI's & looking for answers
I have a 2012 coupe s coupe. I have added a cai and a borla s-type exhaust. I was wondering if I should install forge re-circ valve or intercooler for my next bolt on part. I am concerned with the failure issues with the factory re-circ valve and also looking for mild power increase. I have the n-18 engine with manual trans 41k miles.

Hello and welcome to NAM! I do enjoy those valves from Forge. Great product and a good bolt on to do. We sell the Forge Motorsport Front Mount Intercooler Kit, which is an awesome product as well. Can check out our parts catalog here for some additional parts upgrades. Happy modding!

Well James there are awesome roads after they fix winter pot holes. Fresh asphalt, warm day, and full tank of fuel......that is a good day. I have pics in my profile of the mods i have started so far. What about the oem re-circ valve failure that I have read about, is it a issue on the newer gen 2 or did they fix the problem.

The DV thing is kind of... I know the VW community back in the day was all about them, but I haven't seen too much out of dorking around with it. The Forge DVs look nice enough, I suppose, but I wouldn't expect big gains or a radical improvement over just replacing the a worn-in stock one with a fresh OEM unit. I'm not aware of stock failures being particularly common or catastrophic.

Save your $$ on the recirc valve, but a good intercooler will help performance--especially in hot weather. We're about to run a big intro discount on our latest intercooler (version 3 for Gen 2 cars!). We have a big day of testing tomorrow on a GP2. Data to follow. Welcome!
