Dump valve sound, or lack of !
I just fitted a forge group a dump valve to my otherwise standard 4x4 cossie.
I was sure that the first time I let off with the car on boost it gave off a drawn out "tish" noise.
Now it only seems to make a flutter noise, which is very quiet and can only be heard with the window down.
Should this dump valve be fairly quiet ? Will it get any louder with a K&N panel filter in the airbox ? and did I just imagine that first "tish" ?
Any ideas/advice appreciated

The flutter may well be turbo chatter, muffled as you have a std airbox and filter, so suggesting the dump valve is not opening well if at all.
If you want noise fit a K&N cone filter(group a), this is what I have and it is VERY loud, I have a collins group a diaphragm dump valve, which I took apart and drilled the holes out in so they are as big as possible without it breaking, easily heard 1/8 mile away!!

Hmm, I'll try the dump valve on my friends car and see if it works on his.
Its a new dump valve so if its not working i'll just send it back for a replacement.
Cheers guys
