Just fyi those are the old instructions - they are 99.9% the same but supposedly Forge now include spare "O" rings for when the adaptor is removed and refitted etc!

i didn't get any spare o rings. just the two that are already fitted onto the adapter.

Neither did i! But i bought mine ages ago but if you bought yours recently and have been taking yours on and off you will see it needs the o rings replaced and if none are included and you need them drop Forge an email and they will sort you out.

I'm thinking of getting this, but is it really audible? I really want to hear the BOV.

Thanks,

I just realized that Maximus96 started the thread. He lives 3 doors down from me, so I guess I'll just go listen to his when he gets it installed. Thanks for the link, though. From the sound clips I think I really would rather have the HKS BOV. We'll see...

Thanks,
