......but he didn't tell you how to fit it did he?

 

Do they have a website for our perusal?

 

PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE !!!!!!!

Can't find anything anywhere about it - have tried searching Scoobynet but can't find anything on the words I am using.....

 

Locate standard one. next to intercooler, remove, and replace with new one.

 

What am I looking for - got an idea but want someone to back up what I am thinking already.....

 

I assume you meana dump valve?

is a recirc or a dump to atmos?

and what year is it?

On my car my98, it is located in front of the interccoler to the right.

It has three pipes connected to it I believe, one to the inlet manifold for telling it when to open and close, one coming from the intercooler, and one I assume going to the inlet duct after teh airfilter (if it is a recirc).

I am not sure if this is entirely accurate as it is based on the theory of what the thing does. Either way it doesnt matter.

If you have the correct one, you should see how everything connects up.

 

If it is an MY98, take a look at your intercooler.
Look to the righthand bottom corner of your intercooler, you should see a pipe leaving the intercooler, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and looks like it going down to the ground. Follow this pipe till you come to you black plastic dump valve. It should have a small pipe comming out of the bottom, which connects back into the inlet manifold next to the ignition leads? There should also be anouther 1.5 inch pipe comming out from the side of the dump valve.

Depending on what type of valve you are puting on, either disconect the original valve and replace and reconnect all the piper's to the new recirculating one. The pipes are usually held on by gubilee clips.

If it is a vent to atmosphere, disconnect the three pipes,insert the blanking piece into the 1.5 inch pipe which runs from the middle of the old plastic dump valve, insert the new dump valve into the 1.5 inch pipe which runs from the intercooler, and connect the small hose on to the bottom of the new dump valve.

Make sence?

 

What can I say - so impressed with the rest of the service that I am not even thinking about that !!!

 

mirAGE,

Dump valve/blow off valve is located at the front right of the intercooler. On the MY99/00 cars, it's held on with 2(??) bolts.
