That was kind of my thought as well.

Yes, it is as tight as I could get it.

I was so disappointed with my Forge DV, I don't think I could bring myself to buy the Forge WGA.

GULP! I simply can't bring myself to put a perfectly good valve in a vice and treat it like a walnut.

The "lubricant" in my APS eventually turned to a wax like substance causing the valve to act up. I cleaned it out good and lubed it with anti-seize. That blew out in short order. Now I simply put a few drops of motor oil into the open valve port each week.

I might enjoy a bigger turbo, but I'm simply unwilling to spend any big money on this car. Had I known I would be going with E85, I don't think I would have even upgraded from the VIII turbo to the IX turbo.
