I read about it as well . . . I asked Pete yesterday about it . . .
He said that the Forge for the S4 is a different valve than the one for the TT. The S4 valve was built with a gasket or o-ring, I forgot which he said that was at the upper limits for a modified S4 and they are blowing. Forge is rushing a corrected part to Stratmosphere for them to ship to S4 owners.
You can ask Pete about it and he will explain it better than I just did.

"Best we can tell it's isolated to an o-ring size issue on the 007P... valve which is the valve used in the 2.7T application. The 006 is the valve used for the 1.8T. We haven't seen any sticking issue with that. Apparently the thickness of the o-ring is at the high tolerance measurement. Forge is manually measuring all o-rings with a digitial vernier and replacing o-rings and pistons for customers.
So, we seem to be fine with the 006. The last batch of o-rings for the 007P were just a bit out of the ideal spec. -Pete"<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/230578.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/230578.phtml</a</li></ul>
