Where about the body it screws apart? I am struggling to screw anything apart on that thing... I think the Green spring must still be inside.

yeh its a well machined piece of kit. The top screws off iirc, but saying that i am starting to doubt myself. if you put the bottom hose connector in a vice and grab the top with multi grips and turn anti clockwise it'll come apart

I recently installed mine Steve. I can't remember them being too hard to screw apart? If I did use vice &/or multi grips I would've put a rag underneath to protect the anodised finish. I removed the green springs (supposed to be similar to the standard DV spring pressure), & inserted the yellow ones. They were easy to install too. I just needed to get the elbow angles right so the DVs didn't rub on anything.

I might have a crack at it myself... being the long weekend. Ian your thoughts on DCI? Giac seems to think it is a good thing? I am pretty sure their mapping go over 15psi with their stage 2.

I've tried both, and honestly stock airbox is fine, Ive run 18psi with the stock airbox.
DCI will be fine with the cold weather at the moment, but come summer time you will notice a drop in performance IMO

Just want to have an update on the Forge. I emailed them and they have been very helpful and big thumbs up. On the other hand, I asked for some information on tunersports and they didn't bother with the reply.

I felt more power, especially in the earlier rev range and especially in second gear. I also found better response. The response would probably due to both as the Wagner and the ER CP would have less pressure drop. I doubted I would be able to report much difference with the DV, but I am start to log some data so to see how the pressure is holding after the DV change.

Upgraded CP or DV/BOV does nothing for performance. It's a preventative mod to stop either the CP blowing off at the throttle body or the DV popping off. These are the flaws of the stock setup. I personally have only had an issue with one specific DV popping off at 14.5psi. Most people don't upgrade these parts unless they experience one of these symptoms or they install it before other power mods as a precautionary measure.
