Default where to fot dump valve

hello i have just bought a RS500 cooler and want to fit a dump valve back on it but it has no place for it??

i was going to drill a hole on the cool side before where the hose goes on and weld a little piece of pipe on the put the 90 bend off the small original intercooler on with my bailey dump vale on?

will that work?

any ideas

cheers

Hi the best place to fit a dump valve is in between the intercooler and the inlet plenum all you need is to buy a t piece so you dont need to chop youre old one there are lots of these on ebay.

Just get the silicone pipe with the cold side dump location and plumb into that between inlet tb and i/cooler.
