    Is there an easy visual way to confirm if my recirc valve ( Renault OEM) is leaking ? Would the soapy water test work on this ?

    Thanks !

    Use a might vac, they leak internal so soapy water won't work

    Hmmmm....don't have one of those. Maybe I purchase a Forge recirc - I've got a stage 1 map and standard airbox...just don't want any crazy obnoxious noises when driving which I might get with a Forge recirc ?

    You get a slight increase in noise with the forge recirc but nothing chavvy

    No I'm running the ktec kit, it's a lot louder then the itg but the recirc valve hasn't made no difference to that noise
