hi all

got a focus st (06) plate.
spoke to bailey today, today and they are saying its not safe to put a dump valve on the st. due to damage of the engine, anyone heard of this.

cheers
steve

 

Dump valves are anyways

 

yeah i know, but never heard this before.
thanks

 

Was told the same on my 1.8T VAG motor when I was looking at using a noisy gay valve due to the plastic re-circ valve going pearshaped

 

Sweet sounding 5pot and you want to stick a DV on it Lordy Lordy

Now a niiiiice exhaust system would be a fantastic addition

 

2nd that

 

3rd that

 

why do so many people think d/v are gay I actually think it is all part of owning a turbo'd car

Yes, i dare say that in some circumstances you may look a little daft, pppppttttuuusshhhhhing your way down the street, but fek it, if you like it, why not I say

 

they are ok, as long as it doesnt go off with every lift of the go pedal...

 

on a lag free car like an ST it will, and then some.

DVs dont do shit anyhow

 

Invented by saab as a noise surpressor in the 70's....

Refined by people who sell shiny shit to other people who want thier car to sound like a bus

 

I think it depends what dumper it is. I personally like the one baileys do for the RS Turbos. Sounds good.

But for jap cars where there is a wide range, there are some proper shite sounding ones but some proper nice ones as well.

 

 

I hear it a right mare to fit one to the ST is this true ? Has anyone got any pics ?...

 

they are easy to fit

 

4th that

 

i agree, yet everyone likes chatter but that sounds even gayer

chatter for fuck sake sounds like your car has just swallowed a flock of pigeons

not that i've got a dump valve, i've got chatter

 

What were your RS turbo's, cosworths, ST's used for?

Rallying no? What did they do when the throttle was let off.. CHATTER

Get with it, people will stand back thinking your a bus or a lorry coming through

 

erm end of day its up to the owner if they want a dump valve..iv got 1 and so does my dad..and prob alot more on here..

he didnt ask what your opinions are of dump valves..cus i dont think he gives a shit..

so can anyone actully answer his question

 

lol yeah thats all you get on this site, ask a question about dump valve n its all GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY

the query never gets answered

 

i agree with that, i like chatter, but most of my friends think it sounds stupid.

dump valves sound good, but only if you dont own the car, if its yours they just get on your nerves, chatters much easier to live with

 

its personal taste at the end of the day.

yh we should just stop all dump valve questions lol

 

i agree, if ford saw fit to put a dump on as standard recirculating or not you should use it! i had a msd dump on my s2 for years with no issues no problems, i think i read that you can damage the focus rs one if you dont use it! its simple if you don't like them and there factory fit keep it recirculating and if it ant got one on and you dont like them keep your mouth shut! my mitzy is oem factory recirculating and is no problem, for me the only gay people or those who constantly go on about dumps being gay.. its your choose

I don't see how ... What kind of dump valve? A recirculating or atmostpheric one?

 

he obvioulsy wants an atmospheric one.

Sneeze-tastic.

It damages the engine, something to do with the metered air IIRC

 

cant you use the forge recirc valve, i no they make these for the vag lump to,

also, theres a company that make a dump valve on ebay, that recircs some of the air (to stop the engine management light comming on on the vag lump) and sends some to the atmosphere, to give the ptschhhhhh

 

Or just get a dirty big cone filter and hear the dump/chatter through that?

 

cheers for the sensible answers, put a bailey on it, it put warning lights on, traction control stopped working and engine warning light came on massive loss in power.
thanks anyway.

 

My mate has the same car on a 06 plate & she wanted 1 fitted but looked into it & gave it a pass, not sure what she got told but i know she didnt bother in the end

 

I can say from experience my S2 goes a lot better with the DV off.

Took a couple of seconds to hit full boost again after gear change with it on. With it off its just instant boost. And I don't sound like a twat with a punto gt.
