Im thinking about removing my dump valve and blocking the hole on my saff so you get the nice chatter from the filter, is this a wise idea as i hear many different opinions?

 

no problems whatsoever unless you was running a T4.

 

im running a t34, why is it that ppl say it will ruin ure turbo if u do this?

 

U meen so you can get some turbo stall??

 

yer if thats wot its called

 

well the air is going back into the compressor rather than spat out to air via the dump valve so you can see its not great but with a 360 degree bearing in the turbo no bothers,even 270 bearing can survive,with the T4 the volume of air is too much!

 

because in theory you can, but reality proves otherwise, and people like talking about shit they never tested.

 

so shall i do this with my t34 then?

 

its up to you mate,i would!

 

Like stavros says, the theory behind it makes it seem like you could cause damage, but it's highly unlikely. I don't personally know anyone who has actually had a fucked turbo due to damage caused by running like this.

 

what shall i do with the hose that comes out the top of the dump valve that goes to the inlet is it?

 

block it up or put a blanking screw in the inlet.

 

Depending on how bad the back pressure is when the throttle closes it might feel abit sluggish on the pick up compared to when you had a dump valve on it.

 

blank it off?its just a vacuum line.i noticed better response from my t34 when i removed the dv

 

nice how long have you been running it like this?

 

I ran a T34 at 30psi for years with no DV and no bother,and that thing had the shit raped out of it bigtime.

Also ran a few other cars with no DVs and 20psi+ too.

you ever tried that, or just more shit you heard?

IMO it makes fuck all difference and never heard or seen any proof it makes it more responsive, even tho theory says it might.

 

nice i think thats sold it for me, just need 2 get a decent group A induction kit now rather than the k&N 57i thing i have- its tiny!

 

Ive actually tried it, not on a ford but on a mr2 turbo and a few others.

 

i just put a sronger spring in me dv so it does both.......

 

what dv is that?

 

bailey......it will just chatter all the time when driving about but will dump when boost above 15 ish psi then chatter again....but at 34psi i seen to get a more louder/aggresive dump with the stronger spring...

 

just a standard baily dv or does it have a name?

 

wasnt you getting insurance quotes to get your 1st car just over a year ago?

 

not sure mate just a old bailey silver dv...lol

 

well saying that i think its me bailey one i car'nt remember now

 

i did this last week, sounds alot better but imo it was less respensive on gearchanges but nothing to noticable.

your running a very different spec to me mine is standard but u should have no problems, enjoy the sound i know i did!

 

Did i say they were mine????
