..Advice on dump valve fitting..
Fitted a dump valve on an MY99 uk car,
where the old recurculating pipe come's from the original D.V and goes down under the intercooler it goes over a steel pipe, is this where you fit the blanking plug...?? or do you have to remove the steel pipe as well and fit it further along
Cheer's LEE MAC.

dump valve
is yours the intercooler mounted one? if so there are only 2 pipes to swap over from your recurc d/v the small pipe still conects to your new d/v and the bigger one gets capped with the blanking plug nice and easy
why have you capped the wrong pipe???

Air brakes .
I once had a Forge VTA on mine in an attempt to get natural flames out of the exhaust. I kept the tighter spring in at as this keeps the noise down. TBH I associate the pssssht with Kev's and badly driven hot hatches.
As soon as I was told that VTAs are not good for the engine I did exactly what I advised you to do and binned it (in the For Sale section ).

7 Foot,
In which way are they bad for the engine...!!!
I thought that a VTA D.V stoped the turbo from stalling, and preventing turbo lag, can't see how that harms the engine..
