Default Dump valve question

Not for me,honest lol. Lad at work has built up a few years no claims and is toying with the idea of getting a cheap S2. He was asking me the diffence between a Bailey DV24 single piston and DV26 twin piston dump valve. I don't know so thought i would ask you guys. cheeRS.

lol. He is a bit of boy racer but does look after his cars to be honest. He wants to fit a DV if he gets his S2 but wants to know which one is best for the S2. I think the twin piston is less likely to incur running problems but not sure

the mfi system on a standard S2 needs to be sealed airtight for the metering head to work properly so putting a normal single piston DV it would run shit as if it had an air leak because single piston DVs stay open when under vacuum, the twin piston still opens under vacuum but seals the pipe so the metering head works properly opening fully when under boost/blowing off
