I just installed the APR R1 DV
It makes the car so much smoother in comaprison to the Greddy I had in (That may be my fauilt due to nit having it adjusted right etc etc...)(this is the modified R1 btw)
Smooth delivery of power...but at partial boost the f'n this still honks like a goose >
Should I try it in reverse install or can it be dialled out with the boost machine???
Input please...(Specially you Steve)
TIA
Marcus

Stock location...I'm running a Forge FMIC
APR blamed the first DV I had from them on pressure drop due to the FMIC's size
I'm just looking for input thinking that maybe Steve had seen somethign done differently with this DV in combination with the BM to make the noise quit.
I love how the damn thing feels...thats the tragedy of it all.
My greddy was/is way more aggressive which translates in less smooth (for me anyway)

We put a re-sprung one on Oldsetters car..>>
A few weeks ago along with a Boost machine (stock location, normal orientation) and it was pretty quiet. A very slight noise at the transition point but no real Honk. George now has the re-lo on and had a problem with boost blowing off but the guy who did the work put the DV on Backwards (boost in the bottom). Last i heard all was good..

UPDATE...............
reversed the orientation of the DV (easy to get it wrong if you look at Forge instructions, it is opposite of what they show in their pics) and now the goose is back!! Not as bad as originally but worse than after the Boost Machine install, it sits right at -5 to -10 and promptly goes away!
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!
