Dump valves are pish. Put it in the bin your car will drive so much better without it.

Fuck all!!

Bin it! KE-Jetronic equipped cars do NOT like DV's. Stalling and idle problems for starts. Take it off and you WILL notice the car improved. The people that rave about them on RST's are the people who tend not to have a fucking clue
