I wanted a atmos one because I had massive turbo stall on full chat runs to the point that the car felt unstable When she kicked in again. Dnt mind the noise as the bailey isnt 2 lound. N My scoob never fads into the background neway. Only down side is a slightly jerky tendency when feathering the throtle on cornering, jus means A bit more practice tho, I think this is one of the main things that put people off them.

I personally dont see the problem with them, had a arc vta on my first gtr but you could not hear it over the cool darth varder noises from the airfilters. I am new to this forum and within two days i have seen atleast two chav topics, we can thank those great mags lax power/slow car and redline for the increasing trend of ***** buying all the good performance cars, flinging on all the sh1te of the day, just like their corsas and saxos before hand. We need to face the facts that is obviously going to happen and just get on with the facts that really matter, and that is scoobynet not chavnet

Perhaps we needed a 3rd choice?
Dump valves serve a practical perpose when I car reaches a certain specification and so are justified! LOL

ive had one on the car for around two month, took it off as you loose a couple of bhp's. + a lot of dump valves sound wak...
if you have a cone air filter you can still here the original one anyway, just pic's up a little better too. thay ort to make a recirclalating valve which only lets a little air out, but some cars suit the sound of a dump valve.

Dump To Atmos. valves are like stamps.

Stamp Collectors simply cannot see how sad and pathetic they look to those of us who are normal in the same way that kiddies between the ages of 14 and 19 think DTA Valves are cool

Yet again another **** topic, why is it when BOV's are mentioned all the tech heads come out quoting bore wash,over fueling etc.. yet when a decent question is asked it only ever gets about 3 replies?

Some of the attitudes on this site stinks.

Nice to see that you can see the short comings in the philatelist. That is what every other person on here thinks of you.

So guys which is the best for that real big whoosh????

I have had my impreza for over 2 years now and all you here on this site nowadays is chav this and chav that, the impreza image is being damaged by the pompuss attitude of people like you lot. I live in the north west and most weekends go out with one of my mates who has an sti 8 for a run and I have NEVER seen any other impreza's being driven hard, I think that 90% of people on here spend more time posting and talking sh#te than actually driving them.

I think there's a strong positive correlation between inability to write coherent grammatical English and support for vta dump valves.


Controversial.

Thats because there are only very few people on here who actually know what they are talking about!

The rest of us surf onto this site from **** when the wife walks in!

I think people on here think you have to slag off someone if THEY dont like it, why do people do this? this forum is ment to be a community for fellow subaru owners, subaru owners on here should be respected for being a part of the community and also having a subaru.they shouldnt be getting slagged of because of the mods they like to fit to there car. everyone that is slagging people for there car why dont you put pictures up of yours and show how AMAZING it is and how PERFECT it is in everyway, but i dont think yous would do that because your cars probably have lots of things people could say tahts wrong with it!!! so grow up and respect subaru owners and dont slag off fellow subaru enthusiasts!! whos with me on this one????
