well reading the post about the dump valve for the S1, it got me thinking,
people are now taking them off,
a - becasue there anoying
b - the car runs better
and
c - its seems to make the car feel more powerfull.
so the question is. has anyone done a rolling road with a dump valve on, and then done a second run with out it, and was there any difference in the read outs???

Yes I have and the power and torque output did not differ. On the road however the car felt a lot more responsive. and din't keep wanting to stall.
KE-Jetronic does not like air leaks which the DV essentially creates. Why spend cash on something that is not needed and 9 times out of ten causes problems?
I would urge anybody with a dump valve on a KE_jetronic equipped car to do the only sensible thing and file their dumper in their spares drawer

i've personally NEVER had any running problems while using a Bailey twin piston and the car felt MORE responsive with it on than with it off!!
each to they're own!!!

Even if you are in the fortunate minority of people that don't have problems why fit something that does nothing to aid the performance of the car? Just leaves me stumped

I've dealt with 30+ RST's through the club and through frineds. Most if not all ran better with the DV off than on.
If your happy running something that is completely not required then carry on, it's no skin off my nose

we could argue all about it all day long about it as in my 20 years of running RS's and since the arrival of the twin piston d/v i've encountered very few problems with them!!
just let them spend they're hard earned cash if thats what they want to do!!

I like the sound of a dump valve, however they seem to be becoming
unpopular with turbo owners at the mo.
Is the block-the-dump-valve-hole-off-for-a-flutter-noise-mod any better for the engine then?

RST's do not require one so why bother fiting something that will do nothing to aid performance or turbo longevity?

I do agree though, if it's doing harm, it shouldn't be there. I will have a look into having it removed.
Didn't think the chatter noise on mfi was particularly loud though?

Ive never fitted a DV to my S1 And Never intend to either now - i did buy one few years back but sold it before fitting it
Interesting tale though - i pulled up out side a Kwicksave last year to get some cash and there was the usual group of chav's hanging about outside - one came up while i was at cash point and said - "if thats real then why has it not got a turbo?"
Speechless i really was
So it seems to the numpty's about if u aint gow a DV you Aint got the real Deal

There seems to be a bit of snobbery when it comes to dump valves, alot of people will say they make a "gay" sound, but you find that they will rave about "chatter" which also makes a gay sound.
Oh well!

If you want a DV then have one but most people that know about RST's will more than likely take the piss and you will probably look back in shame once you are older
Got three DV's in my spares box as I went through that phase as well

Made me all paranoid now, just when i was about to splash out on a Godzilla DV!
Mind you i'd rather admit to liking the noise a dump valve makes rather than admitting to listening to Guns 'n roses, any day of the week!

And then there is the old debate of how good / bad each are for the car, which will open a can of worms. Chatter is just "compressor stall" which although probablly isnt going to do much harm to your turbo in the short term, if you are running high boost, it's only going to be a matter of time until your turbo gives up the ghost and lets go because of the compressor blades being forced to stall to give that "chatter" sound.
A DV may / may not give running problems, I know of many people who say the car is a lot better without one on, and people who say they have no problems with one. Installing a DV is in no way going to harm your turbo, as its very purpose is to stop compressor stall (which is what gives you chatter) and keep the turbo spinning, hence not putting the turbo under any unneccessary stress. I know there is a lot of debate about whether it actually makes any difference in performance or not, but this is not my point.
A long story short - people like different things. If someone likes there DV then fine, let them keep it. If someone likes chatter, let them keep that too. Just because one person likes one but not the other, doesnt mean they need to try and convert everybody to the one that they like. Its down to personal preference.

Jimmyboy you are yet again talking complete bollocks
I don't have chatter on the Escort. It's MFi I would not do anything to the car just to make it chatter.
I have chatter on the Fiesta as it's EFi and I fitted a cone filter. I did not however fit the cone filter for the chatter I fitted it to aid induction.
FACT A DV IS NOT REQUIRED ON AN RST OR COSSIE UNLESS YOU ARE RUNNING OVER 30psi OR ARE USING A T4 TURBO
A DV can actually cause the turbo to overspeed which IS damaging.
If you fit a DV in most cases it's being done for the look at me factor.
Once you can grasp this please feel free to come out of kiddies corner and play with the adults

You are yet again not reading what I am saying properly!, I am mearly putting accross the other side of the argument, as you obviously prefer chatter to dump valves.
The simple point I am making is, they both make a noise - one YOU like, ony YOU dislike, simple. Doesnt mean one is "gay" as you put it, and one isnt.
Read what I said properly the first time, and you would of realised this. If DV's can cause damage, then it is on a par with chatter which is also going to do damage in the long run, so one is not better than the other in this case.
Also, people may want a noise on the ERST and may not want to go down the EFi route to get chatter, and a DV is the obvious solution.
Just because I am not agreeing with what you are saying doesnt mean you have to throw your toys out of the pram, where both adults and it's good to get both sides of an argument across!
