Hi people! Bought a dv 26 atmospheric dumpvalve but A friend has told me thithey are a big no no on the frs is due 2 the gt25 having a fragile shaft!

can anyone explain more?

 

Has anyone suffered with any problems after fitting a K&N gen 2 kit to a frs?

 

Since fitting my gen2 ive had no problems at all. Just a lovely whoosh. I was going to get a Dvalve, but since fitting the filter I can hear the standard fit valve anyhow! Because the airbox is removed and no longer insulates the sound. Cant see theres any advantage fitting one when the cars already got one.

I was a bit dissapointed as there hasn't been any noticable performance increase with the filter. Only now there's hardly any turbo lag just smooth acceleration I actually miss that kick of the turbo, the smoothness almost makes it feel slightly slower (which I know is not the case), but quite liking the new noises.

Some FRS's have experienced stalling probs with filter and new dv, but many have been ok.

 

get an upgraded re-circ valve. ive just got the forge 007. no probs with fitting my k&n neither

 

I would say stick with a recirc dv - Bailey DV30, Forge007 or the standard recirc - an atmos dv will make your car overfuel and you may also suffer from stalling when changing gear

 

Bailey DV30 for me - running with 386bhp with no probs

 

i have a bailey dump valve on my focus. i have bluefin and a full blueflame system. it sounds awesome and the rumours and stalling of over fuelling i have never experienced. get some wicked back fires wen shuttin off at high boost.

 

bailey for me as well, 405 bhp 430 torque no issues what so ever
