Fitted a dump valve on an MY99 uk car,

where the old recurculating pipe come's from the original D.V and goes down under the intercooler it goes over a steel pipe, is this where you fit the blanking plug...?? or do you have to remove the steel pipe as well and fit it further along

Cheer's LEE MAC.

 

is yours the intercooler mounted one? if so there are only 2 pipes to swap over from your recurc d/v the small pipe still conects to your new d/v and the bigger one gets capped with the blanking plug nice and easy


why have you capped the wrong pipe???

If it is a VTA then my advice would be to take it off the car and launch it.



Then put the original back on.

 

7 Foot, so if you want the pssstt sound what would you advise fitting?

Air brakes .

I once had a Forge VTA on mine in an attempt to get natural flames out of the exhaust. I kept the tighter spring in at as this keeps the noise down. TBH I associate the pssssht with Kev's and badly driven hot hatches.

As soon as I was told that VTAs are not good for the engine I did exactly what I advised you to do and binned it (in the For Sale section ).

 

Scoobverysoon,

I have not blanked the wrong pipe, i have done as you said just was not sure if you left in the steel pipe in or removed it... fitting the blanking plug futher along...

 

7 Foot,

In which way are they bad for the engine...!!!

I thought that a VTA D.V stoped the turbo from stalling, and preventing turbo lag, can't see how that harms the engine..
