Default Do the FORGE BPV need to be lubed after much use?
If so what grease should be used and are there any written instructions on how to do this?

Default Yes need to be relubed every 3-5K miles. Use Mobil 1 synthetic grease. It As for instructions..
Unintall from the hoses. Take them apart. With a rag clean off the old grease. Then apply new grease to the inside walls and on the piston itself and put a little around the edge of the cap to give them a good seal when you put the cap back on.

Default I ran mine for 20K without re-lubing - not a single problem
when I took them out to sell them they still had plenty of grease.

Nothing really, but they will stick and boost will not be normal.
