Shame on you

Dumpvalves protect the turbo, don't cause running problems ever and also help combat global warming.

stop being knobs and help the man
i personally never noticed any timing delay after fitting my boost gauge, but it was Yago, and the dump valve is gone know

cant think why though, unless u have a leaky gauge

Your meant to take the dump valve and boost gauge from the left had side of the phlem because if you eva have a problem with the dumpvalve or boost gauge ie. any leaks they could give a false reading to the ecu about how much boost there is and damage your engine

Patto has it fitted correct also. That is how I had mine on my S2. No problems with a delay tho. My boost guage was plumbed in via a t-piece close to the ecu.
I have seen the d/valve hose fitted on the other side of the manifold tho...
