+1 ,it would be easier to just use the search bar imho,and save repeat post on a subject that is down to personal preference.

If you want a noise then buy one otherwise the std will do fine. You wont gain any performance by fitting one so whats the point imho

Quite right, had a very thick moment. apologies. Meant dump valve is after maf sensor, so will be dumping air giving less air to mixture than Ecu thinks it is supplying so making car run rich. Doh.
