Default dump valve

i know im gonna get shot and called gay here
i have a dump valve and was going for the pace double capacity intercooler.my question is does adding the larger intercooler make the dumpvalve quieter?its fairly loud at the moment however adding a larger intercooler should release less pressure as the turbo wont be so restricted?

Take the dump valve off completely and have a hunt round second hand for an intercooler. The double capacity Pace item is at best poor

As we all know carl and have argued before depends what boost he is running, i would say if you are running under 12/13 psi they are fine anything more and you are looking at a front mount imo, and best to go for a grs or pro-alloy imo.

ive had 6 rs turbos and few of them had double capacity pace intercoolers.all cars set up at jamsport running 15 psi.never had a problem with any temperatures.people just really seem to hate the intercoolers on here lol.

IMO anything up to about 1bar (14.7psi) is fine, as this is also ok for a standard IC (right on it's limit though) so the pace should be fine with it!
Over that and you want a good FMIC

I have a pace mate and am running 12/13 psi and its well upto the job, only when you are running over a bar imo does it affect act's, so you running 10 psi will be fine, as rick says people seem to do nothing but slag them off on here, but i to have never had a problem with them.
