Product Description
We recommend servicing your valve every 3 years, or 20,000 miles, whichever comes sooner
This valve kit was developed for those who have tuned, or plan to tune, their Audi TTRS or Audi RS3 in excess of 450hp, as it was observed that cars over 450bhp were randomly getting errors from the stock solenoid valve not functioning. Whilst the stock valve will operate as designed, with the boost level necessary for 450bhp, the stock valve couldn’t move the amount or volume of air it needed to, so the ECU was seeing too great a positive boost in the MAP readings between gearchanges and assuming the stock valve wasn’t functioning correctly.
We looked closely at this issue, and noted that there would be no real fix for this as the size of the hole for the valve is too small in the stock elbow. We decided that we would re-design and produce our own elbow, allowing a much larger DV port, which in turn would allow fitment of a larger valve to take advantage of it. We also improved the internal flow of the elbow and removed restriction within the valve.
With the engine management on this engine being MAP based rather than MAF based, which is unlike many other Audi engines, we have also incorporated the option into the kit, of being able to run as a recirculation valve or with an atmospheric discharge/blow off. We are pleased to say that this now solves all issues that owners were experiencing.

Do not use aggressive (acidic) car cleaning products, particularly traffic film remover solutions or shampoos to clean your intercooler, radiator, or oil cooler. The use of these products can damage Forge Motorsport cooling systems and invalidate your warranty. These are often found at car washes. A light, warm, soapy solution (free of harsh acidic cleaning compounds) should be used to clean you cooler and thoroughly rinsed away. We recommend that you should inspect your product on a regular basis for bent and/or crushed fins. Any bent fins should be carefully straightened to allow ambient air to pass through the core face. At the time of installing your Forge radiator, an approved coolant must be used and added to the coolant system. Be sure you never mix coolant and always use distilled water.
This warranty does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, use otherwise than as recommended by the supplier, failure to follow the supplier’s instructions, or any alteration or repair carried out without the supplier’s approval.

Expert Answers
Hi I’m currently building my engine for bigger horsepower but will be road running in soon. Am I ok to install this item with a I believe stage 1 apr map / near standard power map ?
Hello , yes this product is perfectly suitable
Boa noite, tenho um kit montado no meu rs3 8p e se acelerar e desacelerar a válvula não faz nada! A que pressão a válvula vai abrir? Tenho coletores escape e turbo GTX 35, tubagens 89,9mm, IC XXL e escape direto sem catalisador .
verifique se o solenóide está conectado corretamente com os tubos de vácuo de acordo com as instruções e se o feixe de fiação está totalmente encaixado no local, você tem a válvula conectada à atmosfera ou recirculando?
Hello, I have this part (FMARSDV) on my rs3 and it's currently setup to vent to atmosphere , are there any benefits/downsides to setting it up as a recirculation valve? Kind Regards Ioannis Konstantopoulos
hello , the only difference with pluming to recirc is that you will be venting hot air that has been compressed back into the inlet tract, although this should then be cooled again by the intercooler before reaching the inlet manifold.
