Should I remove the Group A dump valve from my cossie. It is currently fitted to the cold side & I am running 14/24 psi switchable boost with a hybrid T3. If I remove it will it have any detrimental effects on the turbo life? Can i expect the car to be any more or less responsive??
Help much appreciated.

Here we go again

Just take it off unless you run a T4 or more with shit loads of boost

 

there it goes again. most people will say....bin the dv. and the rest will say....keep it.

 

take it off, there only needed if ur running 500bhp or more in most cases

 

take it off only if you run a 360 degree bearing in the turbo!

 

I run without mine Andy.

 

what switchable boost you using?

I keep thinking about taking mine off, but its my first turbo and my dream when I was 17 was that noise , so i'll keep it on untill it ever annoys me

 

i am now running without one and feel on the move the car is more responsive oh and it runs 35psi

 

Got two cossies running stg3 and both have no dump valves. Both have hybrid's and have never given a problem. Best advice i can give you is to take it off and stick it in your shed for a couple of weeks and see how you go. There are lots of different opinions out there on this matter as im sure you will find out. Good luck.

 

Cheers for the answers Guys! It will be coming off I bought the car with it fitted & never really liked the bloody noise but left it on because i thoought it may cause a problem removing it!
Cheers

u will find the car more responsive without one.
