No this isnt normal.
Has this always happened since you have had it fitted or just recently?
If it has always done this then I would say it is one of two things.
1:- Incorrect installation (check that you have the correct fitting kit)
2:- Weak diaphram // spring (faulty dump valve)

just since i put the dump valve in, thats two different dump vales its doin it with, worse with the lemans one, compaired to the other one, its fine when i put the standard recirc valve back in, i had it put on a rolling road, but the guy at the garage said it was losing boost pressure when hot, so i thot it was a turbo fault, now i have changed the turbo but its still doin the same
any ideas????
