Well happy with it.

does it make it slower does any1 know cos it feels looads slower????

 

what actually chatters when you do this then?

 

basically its the turbo stalling

 

Dump valves are shit




Euan

 

i would imagine it may make the car slower on spool up? and does this not damage the turbo.

 

yeah so what chatters, matt??

the wastegate?

 

Chatter is much better cant stand dump valves

 

can you tell me what chatters lou?

 

It's just the sound of the pressurised air having nowehere to go due to the closed throttle butterfly and being forced back through the turbo blades.

Some people will rave on about how they save the turbo and are the answer to world peace etc. End of the day as far as Cossie's and RST's go unless you are running 30psi + of boost or are running a turbo of T4 or bigger (or have a small turbo Escort Cossie). you won't do it any harm.

I'm yet to speak to anybody that's had turbo failure as the result of not having a dumper

 

its all in ur mind
