you never heard of recirculating dumpvalves? y'know, like the one thats fitted as standard?

if the std one's not good enuf, just use a baileys one, cn even keep it in the stock location!

and airboxes seem fine on 500+bhp cars so im sure stg3 would be ok

I still run the standard Air Box and I'm a little over standard, I did make some mods the the box at the bottom to allow more air in with some pipe work

I do prefer the Air Box

man alive people moaning about not liking chatter?

when your on a run keep the accelerator pressed down n stop lifting off/on (which by the sound of it you are doing)

you don't have to drive on boost on a dual carriage way do you, so there is no excuses!!

go on u know u want to...fit a dump valve

Always on boost mate when on motorway dual carriage ways don`t get overtook be anything only police cars maybe

TBH the chatter is to fooking load (big ram air foam filter don`t help things) maybe a K&N or something is not as bad.

Ask anyone who`s been in the car it`s a nightmare

If you get chatter by not using a dumpvalve or recirculating one you wont get rid of it by just fitting a standard airbox. I use one om my stage3 sapph and its plenty of chatter.

Tell Tony to let the handbrake off and then he wont need to make boost to cruise @ 70 mph

yep - if you are getting chatter with the std one fitted, chances are its fooked, the rubber splits in them quite easilly after age and years of thermal cycling. they are not that expensive either - but like above, bailey do a piston recirc one that should last forever.

It has a normal T3 on at the moment.Got a T25/T28 hybrid 360 bearing small turbo fully rebuilt waiting to go on

like you said spool up quicker that would make things even worse


Must be getting old
