Question Opinions Please???

I bought the scoob a few weeks ago, love the car, but theres one thing that im unsure about? It has a HKS dump valve on it? Im tempted to put the old recurculating one back on?

Dont get me wrong the HKS is nice sometimes but others its annoying?

What do you guys think? get rid or keep?

The forge VTA came with my car, it was really good for all of 8secs. Get rid of would be my advice.

Unless you have over 400bhp (and then only sometimes); then a VTA DV serves no purpose other than to make a stupid noise and wash your bores.....

Keep it - you'll lose around 20bhp if you go back to an OEM one!

They have a re-circulating dump valve fitted as standard.

Please do not pass inaccurate information along to Newbies. It's 15bhp for the DV and 5bhp for the samco hose. OK!
