Default Nothing stings like reverting parts back 2 stock and having them work better than the shiny upgrades

Went to Great Adventure yesterday. I highly recommend the Nitro. It is fast as hell and that first drop is sinister. You are actually off the seat for a good 2 - 4 seconds which can be quite nerving!!

anyway, during the trip out there, i notice that i'm suffering from severe boost lag. having the luxury of a boost gauge, i notice that when i hit WOT it takes a few seconds for any boost to bome up, sits at 2psi and then shoots to peak boost. I think (and say) F@*KING VAVLES!!
I get home let the car cool a little bit and pull them out. They were stuck open and took over 20 minutes to close on their own out of the car. I put the stock valves back in and test drove. Everything responded normally, just not as good as properly functioning Forges. I still swear by their effectiveness when they work right.
So Forge and Start, PLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE hurry!

Anybody up for a chorus of "I Need A Hero"?
