Ok here is another question for the knowledgeable amongst you:-

What if any effects will be achieved by having NO dump valve?
Will it break anything by not having one?


Thanks in advance

as per first reply your turbo life would be shortened with no dump valve as the air you build up on boost will have no escape causing boost surge you put strain on all internal parts of your turbo does sound good tho

I'm not too great with all the different type brands and such but it's well made sounds good and works well with tha car without the stalling issues :)

I had a bailey one on my 8. Sounded really good.

My 5 had an HKS thing that sounded shizzle so I swapped it for a standard one.

There's a lad selling an HKS bov on the MLR for £80.
That's the one I had on my 5 that was too loud for me.
