Forge 008 Setup

Post by Yeahhluke »

I've just got a forge 008 and it hasn't got any instructions on the spring set up etc...

I know the different springs are for different boost pressures I think, was just wondering which setup for standard map and if there's snything else I need to do?

Any advice is much appreciated, thanks

Running a standard map I've been using the spring that it comes fitted with and it seems to work perfectly, I think you only need to use the other springs when you map the car.

So its literally just plug in and play then :wink:

the top seems kinda loose aswell where you would unscrew to put a new spring in, i gather i just tighten it up with the allen key, and do i need to do anything with the shims yet?

I'd just screw it up, although I don't think mine was loose when I got it. The shins are so you can use settings in between those of the springs by pre compressing them.
