[@kurtlacalandra]

This guys great i love watching his videos. what a help for all the install i have done.

[@AdamRainey]

Thank you Kurt, your support means a lot to me :)

[@hdmk213]

Nice video, thanks Adam. Had mine installed for over 18 months now. Now I know where it actually is! (was installed at Mountune HQ)

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers mate :) Yea you never see it once installed which is a shame, it is a nicely machined piece!

[@neillewis4041]

Hey Adam this is really helpful. I’m picking up my rs this week and this will be one of my first mods. Will have to watch your other videos. Mine same colour as yours lol 😄

[@AdamRainey]

Glad it was helpful! Cheers!

[@fordyford]

Good install. I'll be doing the GFB DV+ in future. Peace of mind for longevity rather than wait for the stock piece to fail.

[@AdamRainey]

Cool man yea, the gfb is essentially the same design and they do quality stuff 👌

[@Formal_Fox]

Finaly got around to doing this, fanatastic video. Thanks!

[@garysanders8090]

Cool vid again AR and good to have some tips from experience of doing it. I think this is part of the FPM375 package Mountune are installing for me in a couple of weeks.

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers Gary - you are indeed correct! The 375 kit from Mountune consists of the intake, recirc valve and tune so I am now starting to itch for a stage 1 tune. I'm ready! :D

[@garysanders8090]

@@AdamRainey Cool! Mines booked in for 26th. Looking forward to it.

[@garysanders8090]

@@AdamRainey had a couple of days with mine now post FPM375 upgrade. You need the SSC and the flash upgrade ;o) Makes quite a difference to the car. Still getting used to it but so far well worth the money.

[@powellj27]

Hello Adam, Great Video, Really liked how easy you made it look. I had mine done by BD Performance and they did it by taking the wheel off for greater access. As for the sound suppression chamber, they also did that too for me :) I have a feeling your be looking at the 375 package next :)

[@AdamRainey]

Cheers mate, I know about the wheel arch method too and played around with it before filming and honestly believe that going in from under is easier. Sure it takes a little more time to remove and reinstall the undertray vs a wheel but from under you can easily get 2 hands in there vs a tight struggle through the arch. Either way, I am very happy with the valve and happy to have it done and indeed you could be right...

[@charlesjames1442]

Ordered mine last week. Looks like an easy install. I'm putting on the FoMoCo brake cooling deflectors too. Steeda had them at half price, so why not(?).

[@AdamRainey]

Good stuff Charles :)

[@dmvfocusrs7591]

Dude, plastic "push pins." Lol, I did this very same mod a week ago. Getting the house off was easier than going back on... Lastly, leave the push pins in the undertray sway bar clamp. It actually snaps on and off of the sway bar pretty easily, and it's a great way to hold the tray in place while you insert the torx head bolts.

[@hyper_channel]

Thanks for the video lad

[@AdamRainey]

Thanks for watching!

[@myview1875]

I have owned a few fords in the past and they like to rust I was quite surprised with the rust on the part with the red bit and yellow spot @2.41. 😞.

[@optinum]

thank you for the install videos! Any chance you will install the mountune sound supression chamber next?

[@AdamRainey]

Thanks for watching them! I tried but was having a tough time with the circlip/snap ring so I'm thinking of just getting Ford to do it for me

[@powellj27]

@@AdamRainey Hey Adam, you did well on trying its a nitghmare, but I am sure Ford or even an aftermarket performance garage will do it for you.

[@doiteaujeanmichel4067]

Thanks you very much for this video. Can you tell me the race ramps size you use ? 40 or 56 inch ? i have ramps but can't use them because the front lips touch . Sorry for my poor english

[@AdamRainey]

Hello, they are the 56 inch race ramps and they are excellent! A bit pricey compared the average amazon ramp but they are very much worth it in my opinion!

[@TTGT2000]

So what is the effect on a stock RS ? Can be good or bad. The spring resistance is probably calculated so it opens at the right pressure to prevent surge. If the aftermarket does not meet similar specs is that not going to damage the turbo on longer run? I am thinking stiffer spring -> more pressure needed to open it up.... so on stock setup not the best effect I guess ?!

[@scottbarker4734]

Hi Adam.. I actually took mine off and replaced with a forge dump valve. Is there anyway you think doing this could actually slow the car Down or am I just imagining it,,,, 🤔🤔🤔 Cheers ..

[@nicupatrana734]

Could it be possible for the turbo to suck in the inner small o-ring? As soon as the TRV was put on my car i noticed misfires under full boost. Ran the car for a while and misfires were present in like 3-4 out of 10 full throttle accelerations. Then i took off the valve and noticed the inner o-ring was missing. I don't recall if it had it from the begiinning, i just know the outer o-ring came separatly.

[@AdamRainey]

Hi Nicu, I guess anything is possible but even if this did happen, I'm not sure if it would cause misfires. Generally the first place to start in diagnosing misfires is spark plugs...

[@nicupatrana734]

@@AdamRainey After taking out the mountune trv i reinstalled stock one and did 25-30 full boost pulls and no misfire. The other bad thing with my car is heavy smoke at idle. I have milltek decat downpipe but the smoke is just crazy sometimes. A breather plate could can solve this? Maybe a catch can too?

[@AdamRainey]

@@nicupatrana734 sounds to me that the issue may simply be the fact that the o ring is missing and not providing proper seal. Decat will give you smoke but breather plate is always a good thing to have either way

[@nicupatrana734]

@@AdamRainey Today i am changing the clutch disk, pressure plate and slave cillinder while retaining the flywheel. The flywheel has a small rotational movement and i guess it's nornal, but has a little movement front to back and i don't know if that's normal. Should i check if the flywhell bolts are torqued properly?

[@paulalexander5134]

Hi Adam, I’m going to go for the fpm 375 kit from Mountune I’m going to to the hardware myself as you did , does the ford garage have to be a ford pro garage to fit the software if so how much am I looking at£££?? I don’t want the hand held device many thanks paul

[@AdamRainey]

Hi Paul, did you get sorted in the end?

[@paulalexander5134]

Adam Rainey hi Adam I’m waiting for Mountune to have there induction kit in stock(with red hoses) then I shall book the car in at Hendy ford Eastleigh as they are a pro ford 👍thanks for your help, keep making awesome videos and stay safe 👍👍👍👍

[@mattb9064]

I'm new to modding I have an rs but all I will be doing to my car is tune exhaust intercooler Do I need this piece?

[@AdamRainey]

You don't need it but when you tune it will likely start whistling louder so will annoy you to the stage that you will want one of these

[@XHARVEYXxx]

Don’t suppose that was you I saw about to drive on to the M3 at about 11?

[@AdamRainey]

Nope, I wasn't on the m3. My Friday driving was a brief stint to Dundonald about 8pm!

[@deathcrashtest64]

There's a few blue RS's about East Belfast.

[@williamrayner738]

Sounds pretty good

[@laurahunt5146]

Does it fit in any orientation or does it need to be place in a certain way ?

[@AdamRainey]

Any orientation - the screws are equidistant around the edge
