so if i plumped the dump valve directly into the waste gate one, the plub the vacum hose into the 'c' gate, then take a hose from the air flow meter and t piece it back into the vacume hos, this will redirect the pressure away from the dump valve.

any body

when u put volts on the amal valve, what happens?

But WHY??

It's simple, if you like the DV, keep it, if not take it off. It's that easy. I cannot think of ANY reason why anyone would want to choose?

Surely you don't think to yourself "I know, I fancy driving my car around on light boost and hearing it chatter today, no, actually, I'm now going to rag the tits off it, so I better turn my Dump valve on"

i can see one big problem it will work fine when you running a the dump valve but when you switch it of and it dont have boost pressure on top of dumpvalve as well as the bottom it will leak your boost off!!!

i thought the idea of a twin piston dump valve was that it stayed closed until it had positive pressure on the vacume side?

1 of my reasons is i had a lovely panel made in carbon fibre and i had four switches put in, but ive only got one of them in use (i blended some driving ligts into my 90spec bumper)

any thing else cool i can fit that needs swithces?
