Default Why Does Forge Valve NOT REVERSE Orientation as Bailey Does???

I have the Bailey and have it installed akin to the OEM valve. I hear the darth vader sound but it doesn't bother me that much. Does the Forge make similar sounds to that of the bailey and why does the Forge NOT RECOMMEND that you install it "upside down".

Just curious...

Default With the Bailey, make sure the bottom of the Bailey is on the pressure side of the turbo (which ....

is opposite of what you saw with the OEM DV.)

Default This does not answer the question, as the Forge and Bailey use the same

design characteristics, ie orientation of piston inside the assembly.

I'm just looking for closure here...

Default Well to try to bring reason to the question...

I do not know the specific engineering tech response....but the Bailey appears to work in either position but is quieter in the 'base to the pressure side' orientation. With the Forge I found that in a chipped 225 it finds the position of opposite of the Bailey to work very well...now to add to the inquiring confusion...both will work in either orientation but each seems to have a preferred position (Bailey with the base to pressure side and Forge to the low pressure side)...I will leave it to others to provide the tech explanation as to why...my comments are strickly based on experience...

Default My 2 cents: I would think what would be most important to you would be to correct the position ...

of the valve you have (i.e., Bailey) to eliminate the noise that "doesn't bother [you] that much."
