you did miss of a couple of things John sadly from those who like to think of themselves a purists and discovered subaru's before the japanese had even started building them.

you know the ones, if its anything anyone has and they have not got it ,it must be - WRONG
if I dont see the need to have a DV and I think it must be chavy then it must be -WRONG
if I have a modified car and people have different mods then it must be - WRONG
yes I may have coilovers on my car but if someone else has different coilover then they must be chavy and of course -WRONG

funnily enough not many of these condecending thought/taste police have a standard car with absolutly no mods at all but their mods are of course tastefull.

I though condecending - Acting in a way that betrays a feeling of patronizing superiority. was the right adjective but Im sure the dictionary will pop his head out and point out the error of my spelling.


so for the original poster hope the thread has been enlightening (though probably not as you intended) and since it is that time of year peace and goodwill to all Scoobynetters

It's an IQ thing - I want a VTA DV equates to an IQ of less than 80 I reckon

I just typed "dump valve" into the search bar , and apart fron this hread (2nd on the list) and most riced scooby thread (3rd) there is only one other thread actually about dv's on the 1st page , and its a for sale thread.

Am i doing it wrong ? There is nothing in the 1st page of results to make me think NOT to post a new thread ! Up until these two recent discussions of course.

For example , i just typed in "roof scoop" and the 1st 5 threads (nothing to do with roof scoops) have 25 thousand posts in them. Nothing on the 1st page specifically about them either. A noob isnt going to read 25k posts before spending 2mins posting a thread "is it easy fitting a roof scoop"

Did you do the specific search filters on the advanced search? Easy to do usually

CharlySkunkWeed

iTrader: (7)

I will try it now and see.
Did a search on "roof scoop" in titles only , and same in tags

- so about 7 threads from 2005 - 09 with an average of 10 replies to each (50/50 on opinions)

-one thread in 2011 (top result) with zero replies.

- the thread with most feedback (1k views/18 replies) has no neg views or opinions

Great results ?

To be fair to you the search mechanism on this site is a bit f**ked up.

Try putting dump and vale in quotes like this "dump" "valve". That should bring up any threads with the word dump and valve in.

You should then be able to use the term dump valve in quotes like this "dump valve" to bring up any threads with dump valve in but not where dump and valve are used separately, but that doesn't seem to work properly.

I was disappointed to realise that my 944 Turbo has an aftermarket air bypasss valve (dump valve - yeah?).

Fortunately its a recirc.

Fortunately I can still rev the engine hard at traffic lights with the window open and shout Im a a ****!

VTA bypass valves which exit through duck calls are quite amusing too.

Well , i used it as "dump valve" as thats how i read the guide to using the search. To get the results in my first test of the "quick search", and "roof scoop" in the test of advance search.

Cant see anything to tell me i better not post this up or i will get slaughtered !

come on your looking at 400 with a remap

if i get lexarse lights,wrc sticker kit,fake roof vent and dump valve will i get 500 bhp with a remap or just look a complete ****?

f1_fan

iTrader: (9)

OK if I stick "dump valve" in quotes just like that in the white search box at the top here and click search I get a page of results.

About two thirds of the way down is a post titled "GFB Stealth FX hybrid BOV" with no replies. I click it and nowhere in there is the term "dump valve" present, the words dump and valve are (highlighted in red as they matched the search) but not dump valve. it doesn't work as dump and valve should not have been highlighted if the search was for the term "dump valve" and the thread should not have been found.

No only a partial ****, you need to add a flamer kit for the full **** status

Gotta be stuck on with a blob of silicone buddie

But please don't fit it without the remap

It really depends on surface area with graphics. The more you have the slippier the car. Bound to be much quicker with a full wrap

Yes it would seem so! A bit crap really that. Posted it in the Bugs section!

For what my 2p's worth...

My old heavily modified uk turbo suited its baileys dv (I didn't fit it), yet I loved its loud whoosh.

However

My jdm v7 sti is too clean and original and would never put a dv on it, the turbo makes a slight whoosh anyway.

If the car has been kept in a good clean original condition, then don't touch it... if it's been through Halfords another mod won't hurt it lol

Well said. I've owned several Imprezas over a long period of time, as the list to the left shows. I've also owned loads of other performance cars. It's been over a year since my last Impreza and I'd normally be looking to have another one around now. Sadly I'll be giving it a miss as any knuckle dragging moron from a sink estate can afford to own one. The image of the car has been dragged down by these types to the extent you seriously have to ask yourself if you want to be associated with them. Years ago when the cheapest Imprezas were more than £15k there was no such Image problem.

Madness , a good scooby is a good one , a bad one is a bad one. Back when the cheapest ones were 15k people still bought sports and modified them to look like the real deal. I doubt anyone would see a nice example of a Subaru and say "its just like the chavy one i seen in an estate last week"
