Default Whats the diffrence between the forge 006 & 007 valve?

i assume a tighter spring to keep the valve closed without assistance from the vac/boost line?

Default Grasshopper has evidence

Have seen two broken o-rings with Forge sending service kit to AU for repair!

Don't bother with either. If you are pumping out any kind of significant boost (ie. big turbo kit) you will shred through the Forge. Maybe not at first, but it will quickly go bad. I had the same problem with the TT. It was good at first, then it shredded. I am now running a Turbo XS BPV. Car runs GREAT with it...extremely fast on/off/on boost. The Turbo XS's are made 100% of metal...no plastic at all. Can;t say enouph about it.
