Default forge splitter install questions



so, the forge splitter installs opposite to the diverter valve pictured above correct?

and for the clicks....do you start with the top turned all the way down (clockwise) or do you start from fully open (couterclockwise)?

my guess is that you start from completely turned down/shut

I am halding at 16+ and spiking at 18+...I was thinking about starting around 23-25 clicks....any suggestions are welcome

thank you!

Yes it does go backwards. Make sure that the blow-off horn is facing your engine block. As for the turns. You wont get any blow-off effect with it turned completely down. This pushes the valve range to zero and your piston wont even clear the housing on the B/O side. Start completely open/unscrewed and and turn the car on. if the valve starts rattling internally then start working the screw in until it stops. if not i would leave it completely out for the fullest B/O effect.
