Default Removing Dump valve

Bored of the noise already

on fiesta turbo......bit of bodged job into standard piping

can you still get that pipe from top of intercooler?

and the pipe from efi box - left hand side nearest water bottle and leading to dump valve.

where does this go if dump valve removed?

new to turbo ownership so be careful with me

anything to look out for after dump valves removed?

You can probably still get the pipe from Ford, or alternatively buy a set od Samco's

Are you talking about the small vacuum hose?

If its on a T piece to another pipe, remove the T piece and conect the pipes together. I know a lot of people use a spare connection on the inlet, if its on its own connection to the inlet just block it off

Yea as long as its not creating an air leak. Would look better if there wasnt a random hose there but will be fine.
