Oh no...not this again.
You do not need one. Unless you are running BIG horsepower...over 300 BHP for example.
There is no proof that running d/v's prolong the life of the turbo..but similarly, there is no proof that not running one shortens the life of the turbo.
That's about it really in VERY short form.
ADMIN: Can we have a D/V Sticky topic explaining all (seeing as the search function is dead & we can't re-direct people to particular threads) ???

Nah mate they dont 'need' a dump valve
IMO they run far better and smoother without one anyway
Its the owners choice at the end of the day.You like it,you get one

Losing the search has made it a bit more difficult to look for stuff as well.
Like Stoo put, it's up to the owner in the end, but you don't need to run one if you don't want.
