I am very interested to hear what maintaince too? Also guys can you chime in on using the the yellow vs green springs. I am running GIAC stage 1 and making about 14psi..can I still use the yellows? I have heard many folks going back to OEM DVs wondering why?..I have been told Forge DVs are really solid..any and all thoughts?..this is the last mod I am shopping for.

i found the leak car runs amazing now holds 16 and throttle response is back to normal. went and tightened everything today found that one of the clamps gave loose on the the hose on the back intake side. i bought a new o ring clamp torqued it down and car feels amazing.

Its really hard to tell throttle response feels better. I should have datalogged a 2nd to5th gear pull with stock vs forged dvs.
