Why do you want one? This sort of question always ends up in a big argument, but most of the top tuners will advise you to keep the one you have, which is perectly good. There are a number of issues around VTA (vent to atmosphere) DV's.

Use the search facility and form your own opinion

"Motorsport" and "dump valve" are strange partners. Perhaps "tacky" and "bling" would be more apt. Marketing trash for chavs who want to ruin a good motor which has a perfectly adequate dump valve on it.

No flame suit applied, come and burn me

At double standard power, the dump valve is well down my list of things to change

Agree with the posts above.

But if you are REALLY desperate for a PTSHHH! then there are far better VTAs out there than a Bailey. I've seen more of them leaking than soft mick.

Stick with the OEM. There is no advantage to be had from aftermarket, apart from underbonnet looks and noise (unless of course yours is faulty or you are running huge boost)

And funnily enough I'm speaking without bias, as someone who actually has a VTA on their car because I'm not ashamed to admit I enjoy scaring people at bus stops.

Rich, somebody told me you don't need a dump valve to do that.

Otherwise VTA + Subaru = bad news DON'T DO IT.
