I testes both the Forge 007P valve (which I use every day now) and the Hyperboost valve.
I tested a bunch of grease types on the 007P, but I noticed during the summer that on very hot days doing high speed driving (I have the Autobahn 30min North from where I live to test things) the regular grease types would get like washed away. Then a friend of mine which was a race driver suggested to try metalic brake grease, this worked very well but seemed like an odd solution to me. So I asked the Ferrari dealership which services my race bred Lancia about what to do, they gave me special copper based grease that works superbly. Now I use that and have 0 problems, I just give my valve a new grease job every 90 days, to be sure.
I also tested the Hyperboost valve, as it uses a TEFLON coated piston, metalic grease is out of the question as it would damage the teflon coating. By its very nature, if you use good non metalic grease along with its teflon coating, it should work better in cold weather during start up.
Once any of these 2 valves is warmed up, you could not tell any difference.
So... if you can get Mobil1 grease in your area, the Hyperboost valve is a top pick, especially for winter driving. The Forge valve is also very good, works great using high quality copper grease. Just get the one you think is best, cause you can't go wrong on either one.
Regards,
Coolknight
