Dump Valves
Back to the original question - As Greasemonkey has said - most of the car noises where taken from other cars on The Fast and the Furious, IIRC the black Civics where actually making noises from a turbo charged Integra etc...

thats very worrying.
I wonder if GMs comments will have an effect on sales of aftermarket blow up valves.

Look at the comments regarding rich running and bore wash (as a result of using a VTA valve) and possible turbo damage (as a result of using a valve that doesn't open when it otherwise should).
Pete: No, it's not possible to map properly around a VTA dumpvalve because, as mentioned above, venting air screws up the airflow measurements. If you can't measure the error, you can't (accurately) map around it.
The correct way round this "problem" is to use a MAP based ECU like a MoTeC, GEMS, Link etc. Then it doesn't matter whether the dumpvalve recirculates or not, as the fuelling calculations are based on manifold pressure rather than mass airflow measured at the pre-turbo end of the inlet tract.

got mine with turbosmart dual port (recirculate, VTA or both) bov already fitted on .. all adjustable and stuff .. always wondered tho' if it was worth all the noise?? don't think it is really .just seems to be another area in which to think "ooh wonder if that's set up right"
think ill put the standard one back on (also came with puchase)
