Hi all, Just bought my first Mk 4 Escort Rst (zvh), and it has no dump valve as its been bunged off. Am trying to decide whether to purchase a dv or not so thought i'd see what other people thought the best and safest set up is..with or without???

 

Efi or MFi. If it's EFi don't bother. If it's MFi .... still don't bother as the system doesn't run well with one.

 

Hi mate its MFI.. the thing for me is protecting the turbo etc...whilst getting the best performance from car. Would it not run as well then with one you say?

Cheers

 

Unless the turbo specifically requires one (GT series for example) there is no point to having one. I've run 25psi for years on my S2 with a Stage 3 T3 and it's still as good as new.

 

And the way the MFi system works means a dumpvalve usually causes rough running and or stalling problems when stopping at lights.

 

Ok thanks for your info...

Cheers

 

Unless its necessary for the turbo, I wouldn't have a dump valve, boy racer pssshh noises! Prefer turbo stall sound to be honest

 

dump valves were ok in 1995. today the noise gets on my nerves. a t series turbo is more than capable of lasting without one. also, i see dv's as a way for people to prove they have turbo cars, they dont offer any advantage other than that. or in a word, naff.

 

I prefer the chatter noise too to be honest...just want the best set up for the car so by the looks of it no dv.

Thanks for your help guys...

 

I don't run one on the Evo, and my GOD do the MLR boys go batshit over that Apparently I'm seconds from doom.....
