hiya guys and gals..
a nice easy one ...what is the rusty thing showing on pic..next to airflow inlet..near turbo...think it may be an actuator ????
also car produces phssst sound as in dump valve..but cannot see if dump valve fitted..is this the rusty thing....recirculating ???? which creates the sound.

fingers crossed pic displays...hahhaaaaaaa

thanks in anticipation.....

 

The rusty looking Thing is the actuator and as for the dump valve you have a recirculating one, Its the small black valve next to the intercooler and inlet pipe.

 

the rusty thing as you put it is the actuator as for the phusst could just be the standerd dump you can hear! (or a cat in the engine bay!!!)

 

meow...here kitty kitty...hhahaaaaa

cheers fellas...bit of kurust and high temp silver enamel should sort out a bit of rust !!! bliiiing !!! heeeee
so the dump valve is the black circular valve...on top...got a red sticker on it ???? can just make out on pic...

 

Yep that the one with the sticker on mate

 

cheers buddy...is it worth upgrading the dump valve for one of the atmospheric ones......blitz...hks...turbosmart..etc...
apart from the noise do they make any difference to actual performance compared to sandard one fitted now......????????

 

There is no difference in performance by changing DV's, if anything it could upset your car a little. The standard item is more than efficient enough for what you want
