I think my DV is starting to go

[Holksvagon]

what is the exact size for the allen head... i think i may have stripped one

[Eugene@TorqueSteer]

I really couldn't tell you with any certainty, also, if your DV screws together (allen head) it is a 007 not a 006. The 006 comes apart by twisting the unit.

[Eugene@TorqueSteer]

I stand corrected, I think you were right, the 006 screws in, the 007 twists...which baffles me because I have a 007, and it screws in. ?!?!?!?!

I need to talk to my man at Forge and clarify it heh.

[Holksvagon]

ya i know the 006 screws together and the 007 is the threaded body itself

Yes I knew that was the deliniation between the two, but mine personally says 007 on it, and it screws together...?!?!?!

I have no idea, maybe I got my version before they manufactured two, who knows.

Heh, what was your wife doing with your tools?

Also, make sure you are using good grease like Mobil 1 high temp, I wouldn't recommend like Canola Oil, your car will smell like french fries for weeks

LOL...nice

[Holksvagon]

Ahhhh the wife was probably using the tools to make supper or sumthin stupid......

I put the valve back in a drove the car and i'm now spking at 18 levelling off around 15 .... I usually spike around 20 so i'm losing 2 psi somewhere...

i'll fugg with it this weekend.... car still is driveable and i dont think its gonna hurt anything.... I'll just take her easy for the next few days till i get her healed up... Poor ol GTI....

[Eugene@TorqueSteer]

If you aren't getting the same boost as you were, try to induce a TBA.

[Holksvagon]

TBA?

[Eugene@TorqueSteer]

throttle body alignment

[Holksvagon]

and how might one do that.... You must remember i dont know too much about the engine, and am not ready to really do anything drastic

Just turn on the ignition but dont start the car, and wait 2 mins
