Default Forge DVR sucks!

If you are looking for an after market DV, my recommendation to you is to stay away from the DVR. The diaphragms don't last more than 2 month in my car (mostly stock, Revo, moderate street driving only).

I must say a good word about Forge. They don't try to capitalize on this problem and offer free diaphragms for the lifetime of the valve and I really appreciate that. It would be nice though if they would offer a decent trade toward their piston base valve.

Your Forge is a piston type... DVR is a diaphram... big difference.

Default I'm on my third diaphragm in 15 months.. I think the DVR would benefit greatly from relocation..>

Maybe it should be offered as a combo package, Forge ? Also, did you mount in the OEM position or reversed ?

I've only blown one - My 007 piston unit sticks - I prefer the DVR.
