Default Forge vs. Bailey

OK, I am convinced that I want to replace the OEM H Series DV (I have the gurgiling sound, no performance hit yet...). I have a 225QC and don't know how to decide between the Forge or Bailey. What is your opinion on how to make the decision?
Thanks.

Sticking his neck out- Beauty contest- Chrome vs Black anodized - Chrome wins (aka Bailey for me)

Default Re: No contest fit the Forge.

Once again Forge valve is available in Black ,and plain aluminium.

Great review on Audi TT forum,This valve is not a sealed unit ala Bailey, and above all its the only tested serviceable and guaranteed valve on the market. Simple choice<ul><li><a href="http://No%20contest.%20Fit%20the%20Forge">http://No%20contest.%20Fit%20the%20Forge</a</li></ul>

Default A few corrections...

The Bailey is not a sealed unit. It, too, can be serviced. The question, though, is: why in the world would you *want* to service this part??

Also, if there is a lifetime warranty, as there is on the Bailey, too, what is the real point about it being rebuildable?

Please consider these points when making a valve choice.

Default Ditto. On other points, six of one ... half dozen of another. They both work, which is more ....

than you can say for the OEM POS.

Default Yes agreed, wasn't trying to imply one is better than the other. Was just saying I like the polished

aluminum look.
