The Forge BOV was replaced at no cost to me. I just went to Abbott America and made a swap. Abbott's BOV is a Forge BOV just without the Forge brand name written on it. If you look at both BOV's you will know what I mean.

As far as the ECU's I would look at speedparts, SQR and maptun. All of these companies make great ECU's and for alot less then the Abbott system. These other companies ECU's are also safer on your car then the Abbott system mainly due to Abbott raising the base boost.

What Abbott did for me was make a custom unit. What they basically did was make my ECU with a more aggressive fuel curve then normal this allowed for higher boost pressure then there normal ECU. Then they included a stronger wastegate then they usually send to their customers this causes the flapper valve to stay closed longer normal. All of this combined allows the car to get a higher boost then most of their ECU's and it allows me hold my boost pressures better as well. When I recieved my Abbott ECU on the side it said that it was a stage four development. Not sure what this really means but it hauls ass. Also remember during this time I was trying out other companies ECU's as well as Abbott's to compare and trust me this ECU is nice. I just wish it did not raise the base boost so high and thats why I would recommend the other companies instead of Abbott.
