Question

Hi folks,

Thinking about replacing the standard dump valve with a venting unit for two reasons...

1. The obvious one... to help the turbo spool.
2. I guess the second most obvious... to make some noise

I have no idea which to choose or is best.
I'm not worried about looks either.

The noise is important, I don't really want the "air blowing off" sound, I'd prefer the chirping noise if that makes sense?

Any ideas please ?

Dave

The Forge VTA is pretty good,I run one and value for money wise I dont think there is better.It comes with a blue spring and a red spring.One chuffs and the other chirps! (£125 should get you one)

I have tried bailey 2 stage, hks sqv, forge recirc and a WRC spec dump valves. I find the WRC spec is the best by far for me.

Sly Fox : What does your forge vta sound like - chirp or chuff?
Do you still have the so called blue/red springs?
Email me direct with details/price etc...

Anyone have a recording of the forge vta in chirp & chuff modes?

does my dump valve chirp or chuff?? LOL

It goes "tish" when i change gear, is this close enough??

It isn't mega loud, and i don't know what coloured spring is in it as i have never dismantled it (if it ain't broken, don't try to fix it).

The Forge valves all come with a lifetime guarantee , and are fully serveable. there is also going to a full spring tuning kit available for the owners who like to tinker

Guinness,

For you mate, I'll provide one free of charge, providing you can sort out the fitting kit and blanking plates yourself.
