Hello,
Just a quick question for anyone...
I've just ordered a TurboXS dump valve (one of the loudest ones) from http://www.impossible-performance.cwc.net/turboxs_contect.htm,
has anyone else ever heard or fitted one of these to their Scooby?
Also does anyone know how much boost/Psi a standard 1998 Turbo 2000 is running? Hopefully, i should have my new dump valve fitted soon and let you know how it goes/soundz.

scooby-si

it should be about 14psi m8 thats 1.0bar

Type_RA

about 0.8/0.9 bar I think.

IMHO dump valves are just noise no real performance gain and can sometimes screw up fueling but thats just my opinion. Some people like them, some people use them to richen the mixture. Seems a lot of money for a whoosh sound but there you go I like private plates guess it depends what floats ya boat.

Mistacain

Thanks, now i know

Which make of dump valve is the best to go for?
I only know of Bailey and Forge...

Mistacain

I should hopefully have my TurboXS dump valve fitted on friday ;o)

I personally noticed a very very slight difference to performance asfter fitting a Bailey DV to MY95.

Anything which reduces spool-up time in my eyes has to increase acceleration.

nom

Not that a dump-valve will reduce spool-up times... but it's probably not worth going there

EvilBevel

nom, get with the program, everyone knows that they increase spool up, are worth at least 25 BHP etc...

<thinks of starting to sell dumpvalves>

nom

Ooo, ooo, can I have one in red? I hear they go faster!

Mistacain

...Go for a TurboXS one instead ;o)

Mistacain

I've just got a TurboXS dump valve fitted and sounds gooooood. I dont know if its just me but gearchanging and turbo seemz to be alot quicker now, much better than the standard plastic one i had before ;o)

nom

'Between the gears' is what a good dumpvalve should be able to help with. So it sounds like it's doing its job!

Mistacain

...Yeah, sounds and feels better

Moles Dad

Mmmmm

How hard was it to fit your turbo xs. How much are they?

FASTER MIKE!!

mistacain can you post some photos of your dump valve as i have the turbo xs rfl and had a few niggles fitting it.
regards mike

The prices for TurboXS dump valves start at £109.95 from Impossible Performance for a "Type-s", the most expensive one is £169.95 for the LOUD "Type-h RFL" (plus about £30/40 for the fiting kit, depending on which model you have). It took my local garage about 40 minutes to fit my Type-h RFL. The only problem the fitter had was finding a good place to put the DV, eventually used the supplied bracket and attached it to the right side of the intercooler.
Like the advert says it is very loud, even when lifting my foot off accelerating it whooooooooooooooshs in any gear even at low speed. This is my first turbo'd car i've ever had and im still impressed... ;o) I havent gota dig'camera yet so cant post any pics'... might have to borrow one and then post ;o)
