this is weird, MY99 UK Turbo, had a blitz SS dump valve on for about 3 months, the other night it stopped dumping sometimes and now it doesnt dump at all but i just get flutter flutter (kinda diddle diddle dooo), which is nice but cant be doing my turbo any good!

Is it possible my blitz DV has frozen up? then again i drove for over an hour last night and it was still doing it, can something other than the DV have got stuck? and am I doing any damage if I carry on until I can get someone to fix it?

Spring gone? Or little hose coming on top of the valve loose?

i can still get it to dump but only if I'm REALLY pushing it and come off power really fast, any casual backing off results in flutter, i think if spring had gone it would be open all time wouldnt it and i wouldnt get boost, as it is it holds 1.2bar

Then you need the help of somebody more into these things than me. Maybe dirt piston, and does not open completely?
