Default Remove the Dump Valve

HI!

Can I drive without the dump valve on my 4x4 Cosy?
Will it harm the turbocharger?

regards
Mathias

Only does harm if it's a big turbo. Ok with a standard T3 I believe. I run my T34 with no DV too, it sounds wicked

HI!

I have already a cone filter from K&N and was always surprised
about the real loud chatter sound during gear change.
I thought the original pop off was fuxxed.
